Domestic surveillance continues to be in the news with reports last month of "massive monitoring" of domestic telephone calls while the Bush administration claims that too much scrutiny of its security procedures undermines the war on terrorism. Do you think it is all right for your telephone conversations to be monitored? Should legitimate warrants be required? Should the government just back off?
"No, I don't think they should be monitored, and yes, I do think they should have a warrant." CRYSTAL BRANTLEY Quiet Oaks Nursing Home "The government should NOT back off. They should be allowed to monitor the phones if necessary. During World War II we wouldn't have even thought of fighting something like this. Everybody fought the war during World War II. We didn't have any activists that went around criticizing how the war was being fought. We were out to win it." THOMAS SHIREY Retired "I think the government should just back off because it's invading our privacy without a warrant." BRIAN ALLEN Bus Driver "I wouldn't mind if my calls were monitored as long as it was for terrorism. If you are not talking about anything that's illegal, then you don't have anything to worry about."
