Good point, Max. I keep forgetting who(m?) we're dealing with here. While in the bookstore last night, I perused a book called
The Soft Cage, by Christian Parenti, which deals with the invasiveness of the surveillance society. Anyway, he had the quote from Ari Fleischer that came shortly after 9/11, "There are reminders to all Americans, that they should watch what they say, and watch what they do." Parenti follows that remark by informing the reader that it was removed from the official transcript altogether. Just another sign that 1984 has arrived, baby. "He who controls the present, controls the past."
