Thanks, Willie-O. I didn't know that's where Poindexter was nor what he's been up to. It IS alarming. I just sent it to the Colorado congressional members, though it probably won't matter much as they are all GOP, with this message:

We find it outrageous that William John (oops!) Poindexter works in ANY capacity in our government. That he is in such a position as listed below, is a travesty. Please read the following NYTimes op/ed piece, if you haven't already, and know that we do NOT approve of the extreme measures advocated by Mr. Poindexter. We also do NOT approve of the loss of civil liberities which the Homeland Securities bill portends. Our citizenry must maintain its rights of free speech and privacy. It is your job to make sure this is so.

Thank you.
