What sounds like a new debate over the president’s ability to eavesdrop without warrants occurred 30 years ago. Documents from the Ford administration reflect a remarkably similar dispute between the White House and Congress a generation before President Bush acknowledged that he authorized wiretaps without warrants on some Americans in terrorism investigations. | story SHARE THIS TRUTHDIG ARTICLE:

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, pull back the curtains, and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”
-- Frank Zappa
