Dear Everyone;
The Bush Administration is trying even harder to cut back on what they consider to be un-necessary evils of restrictions on subpoena powers. With the looser rules there would be fewer civil rights and liberties in the way of Bush/Ashcroft going after anyone they feel like. Then Bush/Ashcroft could use any concocted reason under the guise of the war on terrorism to go after anyone they felt like pursuing.
So far this has meant using the war on terrorism to go after food stamp fraud, health care fraud and a child pornography ring. I'm sure as a result of these targeted attacks on terrorism - real terrorists are quaking in their boots.
As Bill Maher said, " With Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Governor of California, the Bush administration would have a Republican in office who could state the Bush administrations new policies on civil rights and civil liberties in the original German."
