Trust me?
To the editor:
Thank you for your coverage of Mr. Bush’s Landon Lecture at K-State and for your continuing coverage of the domestic surveillance issue.
Everything that Mr. Bush says about his domestic surveillance program boils down to this: “The innocent have nothing to fear – and I’ll decide who’s innocent. Trust me.”
We might expect as much from this president. But now even Sen. Pat Roberts, long a voice of moderation, is dancing to the White House’s tune. The same week domestic spying was revealed, he voted to make the so-called “Patriot Act” permanent.
He may find that the people of Kansas like freedom more than they like the right wing of the GOP.
