I told you they were after us. On December 31, news organizations trumpeted a national warning from the FBI “to be alert for people carrying almanacs, cautioning that the popular reference books covering everything from abbreviations to weather trends could be used for terrorist planning.”
Alert the press: the national security forces have learned freshman library skills. “The FBI said information typically found in almanacs that could be useful for terrorists includes profiles of cities and states and information about waterways, bridges, dams, reservoirs, tunnels, buildings and landmarks. It said this information is often accompanied by photographs and maps.”
I get it! Be afraid of anyone who looks up a) a geographical location and b) a place of interest–in other words, any information enquiry any reasonable person might ask.
Thank goodness for the many members of the press who not only questioned but mocked this latest attempt to to legitimize invading our privacy and limiting what we read.

Almanacs? I wonder when Bush will introduce the information police to keep such dangerous information out of reach of the terrorists.
