You guys sure have laughed at the KGB of USSR, but have you ever thought that the FBI is gradually becoming one? Is this uncheck power for law enforcement a good thing for America, the so called 'land of free'? Will those drug moneies that made mortgage payment and interest rates low now go to Italy or Vietnam? Looks like the world today is experiencing two opposite trends - moving closer from democracy to dictatorship and moving close from dictatorship to democracy. They are getting closer in the middle and the distinction is less and less obvious. It seems to me there are more changes in these two years than that of the last two hundred years. Americans are surely less free now. Has Bin Laden won? When America looks more and more like other unexcited, mundane places in the world, that's the end of it.
