DHS Wants To Monitor the Web For Terrorists
clustro writes "Under the belief that terrorists are 'increasingly' recruiting US citizens, Department of Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano says that increased government monitoring of the Internet is necessary to thwart them. It is believed that Fort Hood shooter Major Nidal Hassan and attempted Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad were inspired by radical Internet postings. Speaking at a meeting of the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy, Napolitano said, 'We can significantly advance security without having a deleterious impact on individual rights in most instances. At the same time, there are situations where tradeoffs are inevitable.'"
"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
According to the DHS, the liberties you will give up are not essential and the safety you will gain will be permenant, so the quote does not apply.

Dammit! A typo. I should not create rules for a state after having woken up in the afternoon with a hangover. ;)
On the other hand, that could also be the famous words uttered by big leaders when founding most new states. )
Any sufficiently advanced intelligence is indistinguishable from stupidity.
PROGRESSIVE
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
Pro means for. Con means against. Progress, Congress.
You do the math.
