Former CIA Head Calls for Limiting Access to the Internet
GMill writes "Former CIA head George Tenet has called for limiting access to the internet to only those who take security seriously and that the industry should 'lead the way' in restricting access. Somehow I don't think that this is a call to ban Microsoft products from the internet. What exactly does he want?"
What a retarded comment!
Scanning for planes on bombs will HELP prevent things like those that occured in Russia recently, in which their planes were BOMBED.
That wasn't my point. My point was that no matter what measures we take they will always come up with something that will work within the guidelines we create.
Too many people list McCarthyism without understanding what it really was.
I am well of aware of what it was. I was talking about the reaction of the public to the "threat" created by the government. I would have used "Soviet Threat" by itself but the problem with that it doesn't explain the true paranoia caused. Going so far as to report your own parents if they are communist.
Ban those who mention God?
Heavens no!
Don't you listen to Father Bush?
All those who DON'T mention God, the RIGHT, Conservative, Gay Killing God, will be banned.
Those who mention this Allah guy, or any of that pagan crap will be declared enemy combatants as they should be and shipped off to be interrogated.
Free Speech and Civil Rights on the other hand, well only terrorists want those, because God fearing Christian Americans don't have anything to fear from the government. Quite the opposite, they know it's the Righteous Hand of God, reaching out to protect the faithful.
Only Terrorists want privacy and civil rights, so they can hide their plans to kill Americans!
"Live Free or Die." Don't like it? Then keep out of the USA

Do you have evidence to back your opinion up? I would seriously be interested in seeing anything that shows the administration outed Plame.
What I would NOT accept as evidence would be unamed sources, tin-foil hat sites (like democratic underground), or Op-Ed pieces (such as Ted Rall)..
Got anything? And I'm serious... People in the US (including the president)are innocent until proven guilty. If you have access to some concrete evidence, I would be more than willing to concede your point.
To tell you the truth, however, all I'm expecting is some links to dicussion forums, ad hominem attacks, straw-man arguments and the like.
