Trust your Uncle Sam

To our friends in the European Union, a warning - be afraid, be very afraid when the US Government acquires the rights to your private transactions and promises to protect your privacy.

In another bid to combat terrorism, the US and the EU have decided to collaborate in invading the privacy of their combined citizens. Big Brother just became acquainted with his twin.

Bush and Brown spin the sanctions

It might have seemed like some late-in-the-game diplomatic coup for our lame, lame-duck President, but apparently the announcement of sanctions against Iran were something already negotiated by the EU, without the urging of Bush.

I guess Gordon Brown has taken on the mantle of Tony Blair as Bush's favorite English lapdog.

And the American press who are swallowing the bait provided by the White House propaganda machine without any followup? Shame piled upon shame.
