Former VP Al Gore stood in front of the cameras and has taken a shot at GW Bush and his GOP White House. Ouch. That punch to the mid-section has gotta hurt. I have yet to watch video clips of the speech but I know it will be quite interesting. Whether or not I agree with Gore or Bush on this issue (national security vs individiual privacy), I am happy to see that someone in the DC-beltway has the courage to raise the level of national debate. Questioning the CINC is not an act of treason. Questioning the Executive Branch of government is what makes the USA a powerful nation.
Everyone should get involved in politics. Without the involvement of the citizenry, governments will go unchecked and may become corrupt. I, for one, always root for the underdog. And right now, the underdog is the 'Rights of Privacy'.
So for now, "Al - you go get 'em".
