The freedom of the press plays a very important role to any democratically inclined society. However, it would seem that the Bush administration is not too fond of this pesky little freedom that is designed to maintain a vigilant eye on the government. Last week The New York Times reported on how Bush has now been snooping into the banking records of his citizens.
We first find out he is invading our privacy through the phone lines earlier this year, and now it is our bank accounts. I am beginning to feel like I should just set up an extra bed for Bush in my bedroom because I don’t think he’ll stop until he rips away every ounce of privacy he has been generous enough to leave untouched to this point.
After yet another arrogant invasion of our privacy, he actually had the nerve to shake his finger at the New York Times for blowing the whistle on his covert operation. I plan to send that newspaper a thank you note for doing their job so effectively.
