I'm in cognitive dissonance -- I'm a liberal and I agree with Mr. Lord. I concur with his statement that the Hampton police surveillance is an abuse of government. But there are similar but worse abuses of government about which I am anxious to from Mr. Lord, the warrantless surveillance of Americans. At least the Hampton police surveillance he describes is legal.

p>Right now, in addition to being spied on without judicial scrutiny, any American can be arrested without cause and imprisoned indefinitely. On the whim of the President you can be charged and convicted of crimes without ever seeing the evidence against you. He has declared that as President he is under no obligation to obey laws passed by Congress. Now that's serious abuse of the Constitution. Mr. Lord appealed to the Constitution of the United States in the actions of the Hamptons local government. I would now like to hear what Mr. Lord has to say about President Bush as Big Brother. br> -- Ron Schoenberg br> Seattle, Washington
