If the White House 'plumbers' during the Nixon era had had access to computerized records of the sort Poindexter is about to acquire, what DO you suppose they might have done with them?

Power has always tended to corrupt, and the more one's basic philosophy leans toward a narrow, conservative concept of morality, control and spying "for the protectiong of FREEDOM", the closer one comes to the hypothetical 'cameras in the bedroom'.

I'm not sure it hasn't passed the point of no return already.
