did you read Tony Blair's words about how the definition of civil liberties you refer to is obsolete, and of a different technological and political time? Me neither, but the NYT was talking about it today. the funny thing was the NYT reprinted the words like they came from a thoughtful statesman trying to craft a response to the new terror menace. If W had said the same, I know the NYT would have cast them in sinister light.
