America's lawless executive branch
Rebirth of Reason

Benjamin Franklin once said: 'Those who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security deserve neither liberty nor security.' In the current bank transactions spying controversy, perhaps George Bush should consider whether or no he really thinks he's wiser than Benjamin Franklin. These are scary times for freedom of speech and civil liberties. Many conservatives -- almost including George Bush -- are brazenly demanding that the New York Times, Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times be charged with treason. This outrageous call seems to be a trial balloon for significantly less freedom in America down the road. But just how much censorship and fascism is actually desirable?
