THE 'REASONS LIEBERMAN IS A DICKHEAD' LIST, cont.
Joe Lieberman could have stopped cold the paranoid idea of turning America into a nation of government snitches. Instead, the legislation creating a department of homeland security has sailed through the New Haven Democrat's Senate committee. There was not even a nod to the alarms over the Justice Department's idea of recruiting hundreds of thousands of Americans as government informants.
The plan is so repugnant that civil rights advocates and Republican conservatives have banded together to oppose it. Turning ordinary Americans - letter carriers, utility or delivery workers, among others - into government snitches is something for Castro's Cuba or Hitler's Germany, not the United States. - Snipped from The New Haven Register.
