Why rights are vanishing

Americans are living in an increasingly fascist state due to reasons like this:

Air Force Gen. Michael V. Hayden, who was NSA director when the surveillance began and now serves as Bush's deputy director of national intelligence, said "The whole key here is agility," According to Hayden, most warrantless surveillance performed due to Bush's authorization lasts just days or weeks, and only requires only approval of a shift supervisor. Hayden said getting retroactive court approval is inefficient because it "involves marshaling arguments" and "looping paperwork around."

Oh, pardon me.

We're so sorry for asking that you prove that spying on Americans is actually warranted before it is done. We're so sorry for asking that big brother prove his actions are required before invading our privacy. We're so sorry for asking that the government justify it's actions before it destroys the liberties our forbearer's fought and died to protect. It's great to know that our rights are violated on the approval of a low level shift supervisor. This is how America is “protected” by the Bushies?

Please forgive us Gen. Hayden, we're so sorry that paperwork has to be done. How unrealistic and demanding American citizens are!
