pecuniumIt's been awhile since I did much linking, and this is going to be brief, It isn't that I'm not reading things, but rather that I'm so busy as to be not digesting them well enough to sift out the ones I think people might 1: want to read and 2: not be reading.
I added Unclaimed Territory by Glenn Greenwald to my blogroll sometime around Christmas, IIRC, and he's always worth reading, and he's damned sharp on the entire wiretap, and adminstrative secrecy issues.
His piece today Snapshot of the US under Bushis on what the U.S. looks like, to outsiders, and why we might want to look after our own affairs, before we try to meddle in other people's, at the moment.
Justice William O. Douglas pointed out the time to be worried about the darkness which can fall on a people (e.g Sir Edward Grey,, "The lamps are going out all over Europe; we shall not see them lit again in our lifetime.") isn't when the blackest of evils has swallowed all the light, but rather in the twilight, when the shapes and shades can still be made out. That is the time to try and rekindle the fire, for it will be eaiser, when there is less blackness to drive away.
