The Other Big Brother - Newsweek National News - MSNBC.com

The Other Big Brother - Newsweek National News - MSNBC.com. Newsweek has hit the heights of satire or assumes its audience is as technically dumb as they are. I'm not sure which.

The Pentagon has a supersecret program to track protest groups. Just how are they "spying"? Probably, by reading the media and using the internet. So Big Brother is reading the paper and taking notes on groups. Not sure if this belongs in the Pentagon, but there may be some way to gather meaningful anti-terror statistics. Me, I'd rather do artillery training than do supersluthing cut and past from the NY Times and the internet.

I wonder if Newsweek is just trying to run the hype on the Bush spying story.
