Wiretap the Internet?
I thought this article was particularly fitting to the discussions about rights that we have been having in the past few weeks. It raises many questions about the evolution of our rights and governmental control over the people.

This is very interesting. However, we need to be careful with the amount of censorship that our government exercises. Our nation was formed on the rights of privacy and free-speach, and I do not think it is appropriate to infringe on these rights, not now, not ever!
I don't think it is as much an issue of censorship but an issue of what our government has access to in order to protect us. For a select few, privacy might be infringed upon but if you aren't planning to blow up the Whitehouse then the government wouldn't/shouldn't be monitoring your activity. Because the majority of people communicate solely through the internet it seems like a logical procession have critical contact with such public and fast-changing files.
