Wait... was Habeas Corpus simply cancelled or did you never have it?

Ralph,
Where have you been so long?
KGB, KGB, who cares about KGB? The KGB died with SU.
I kritikovat Putina mne nikto ne zapreshaet, chto ya i delal aktivno vo vremya ego presidentskoy kompanii, poskolku schital ego priemnikom Yeltsina. Odnako teper mne etogo delat ne pozvalyaet sovest, poskolku ya ubedilsa chto silno v nem oshibalsya.
Rossii ochen povezlo chto u nee poyavilsa nastoyashii lider, patriot svoei strany.

Well, I just signed up for Citizen Corps. I signed up the for the 'Neighborhood Watch Program' and 'Volunteers in Police Service'. Guess I'm well on my way to becoming a spy.  This is the next best thing to working for the CIA!!! Yipeeeeeeee!

Get the feeling he would have been one of the eager Hitler Youth types, reporting his neighbors who then disappeared forever in the middle of the night...

Re: Australia is becomming a police state(after hearing America was already one)
The proposed laws are simply ressurrecting the Summary Offences Act, which was around for decades until the 80's. It has been inspired by ethnically related crime waves of rape and murder. Specifically, gangs of muslim youths have been targetting female, non-muslim teenagers and gang-raping them. Nothing heightens racist fears like hundreds of your teenage girls being subjected to rape and being called whores, presumably for being raped by them. However, great credit must go to the various muslim leaders in Australia who have denounced the rapes. Disturbingly, they have had to explain to the parents of the perpetrators that what their children had done was wrong 
These laws certainly do reduce personal liberty, but not nearly to the extent that the proposed citizen spy network the US is considering. The Australian laws do not restict democratic rules of law. The proposed US law does not presume citizens to be innocent until proven guilty, as reports are not to be revealed to accusees. Furthermore, reports are to be kept on file indefinitely. It is undemocratic to place surveillance devices in homes without being notified.
What i want to know is - how is the US spy network any better than the Stasi or Hitler Youth? This is not neighbourhood watch, as your nosey neighbours cannot make accusations to the police about you without you being notified of said accusations. If the article is true, then Bush is truly paranoid

I have not been thrilled with Bush's response to the terror attacks, but this is a new low. Even my wife is shaking her head.

The primary concerns are:
1 ) Are these 'spies' being paid?
2 ) Do they have any power?
If this system needs to have any use, both 1 and 2 need to be answered 'yes'.
Homewer, 1 would demand massive and massive amounts of money,
and 2 would create a corrupt heaven.

Precisely. This is more hilarious than sinister.
I suspect its a bit like the campaigns for people to donate aluminium pots to the war effort - a morale booster but totally useless for the stated purpose.

Elo fellow FYROMian
don't you think that is the job for 4% of the population that are very conservative/ fundamentalist/ nationalistic and slightly paranoid.
There is certainly a few percent of such people in every society, and this is a job for them which they will enjoy doing for free.

4 percent of the population? this is a joke... I wouldn't even consider 4% of the population intellegent enough to spy. This article is BS... but with Bush, you never know... Just using quick math... that means 12 million people are going to be spies? If you have classrooms of 30, that means you need 400,000 teachers to teach these 'spies'. Spying is a skill that is learned, you can't just recruit 12 million people and say, "Spy for me"... even Bush must know this.

Yup, Markos, it sure is scary... you should put up a pic of Hitler or Mussolini next to it to compare to Bush... not that much difference. Thank goodness that Bush's "Himmler" is Ashcroft. Most people don't take that boob seriously

Bush Proposes Domestic Anti-Terror Strategy
Tue Jul 16, 8:27 PM ET
By Randall Mikkelsen
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush ( news - web sites) proposed on Tuesday a strategy to protect America from terrorism that could use the U.S. military to enforce quarantines during a biological attack and "red teams" [red? are you serious?!?red is for commies!] of agents thinking like terrorists to pinpoint weaknesses.
The plan, which would take years[= next elections are ours] and billions of dollars[=buy stocks of ibm, hp and of course microsoft] to realize, seeks new vaccines, tighter border inspections and includes a major effort to protect infrastructure such as power plants and pipelines.
It also includes high-tech elements such as systems to detect behaviors that can indicate the "hostile intent" of a potential terrorist [WOW!! i bet this doesnt step on any civil rights], and sensors that would reveal a traveler's exposure to materials such as biological or chemical agents.
