Bush's imperial presidency
The Hightower Lowdown

The Bush administration has pushed hard for limitless powers to spy on, imprison and torture American citizens in the name of 'security.' Is this really what America stands for? A fellow from a town just outside of Austin wrote a four-sentence letter to the editor of our local daily that astonished me: 'I want the government to please, please listen in on my phone calls. I have nothing to hide. It is also welcome to check my emails and give me a national identification card, which I will be proud to show when asked by people in authority. What's with all you people who need so much privacy?' Well, gee where to start? How about with the founders?
