"Is the Bush administration's domestic war on terrorism jeopardizing Americans' civil liberties?"

I just watched this on PBS and I have to say it is really sad to see the USA turning into a 'police state'.

What really makes me question all of this is the lawsuit against AT&T http://www.eff.org/legal/cases/att/ ) and the recent merger of AT&T and Bell-South. If AT&T is in cohorts with the NSA to do a domestic dragnet style spying on Americans, now it could be done with greater simplicity to local data and phone traffic.

Also when the government officials were questioned on this or that they all kept saying "...in this program," in reference to domestic spying on Americans. Am I the only one annoyed (to put it lightly) by all this "plausible deniability-ish" like comments off the lips of the very people who were elected into abide by the law not break it?

The video will be online tomorrow and transcript will be up in a week.

I would like readers to watch and comment on this as it is something I am interested in and want to know what you think....
