I am disturbed by something I have been hearing on the radio all afternoon. It started when Rumsfeld was talking about poor handling of secure information. Now I am hearing a lot more talk like that and how we need to worry about what information is released to the general public.

I haven't heard anything specific. They are only speaking in generalities. This is very disturbing. We must all remember the days of old when the administrations hid a great many indiscretions behind the veil of NATIONAL SECURITY. We must not go back to those days. It was a time when security concerns ran roughshod over personal liberites. It was a time when we had to watch what we said and who we talked to. We were only one step better than the Soviet Union.

We cannot afford to do that to ourselves. If we do then we are letting the terrorists win by destroying our way of life.
