What next?

Here is a snippet from Bruce Schneier's Latest Cryptogram:

Last month the Supreme Court let stand the Justice Department's right to secretly arrest non-citizen residents. Combined with the government's power to designate foreign prisoners of war as "enemy combatants" in order to ignore international treaties regulating their incarceration, and their power to indefinitely detain U.S. citizens without charge or access to an attorney, the United States is looking more and more like a police state.

Just in case anyone hadn't noticed this already.

American Spending

I've been using this quote in my signature for a month or so now. 
  The cost of the first 25 Tomahawk Missiles launched in the first hour of the
  first day in the war with Iraq was more than fifty times the annual HUD budget
  to End Homelessness in America. [CNN - March 20, 2003]
Now that I have removed it I am posting it here as a reminder.
