New Okay, that was a little bit over the line.
But, if you've been keeping track on what they've been asking for, it is looking just a little bit police statish. Especially the computer crimes parts, but look at Ashcroft's requested changes to wiretapping laws...

And FYI, if any other President was asking for the same things, I'd be calling them Dictator too, regardless of political persuasion.
