I fear as much. G.W.B. is not a moderate person (as we have seen with
the spyplane that was shot down over China), I just hope that the
American people will not agree "nuke them all" (quote from another
posting in this thread, quoting Amercian NG's). Up to now, there are
only speculations about who us "they".

Yes, something like what happened today in a free country would never
happen in a dictorship, I agree. But let the terrorists win by
abolishing privacy?

You scare me.
