that this is the first administration to "spy" on its own citizens to protect national security.
At least, thats what it sounds like...that while this administration actually >wrote it down< that somehow other administrations didn't maintain files on or monitor communications between citizens without a valid warrant.
Maybe I should just be happy that some folks acually have that much faith in the fed. Personally I simply think it naive to believe that this is the first instance of this occuring (written down or not)
