Incarnate Word cancel NY Times subscription

In protest to the recent stories exposing the government's secret program that monitors international bank transactions, the University of Incarnate Word's Dean of Library Services cancelled their library's subscription to the NY Times. "Since no one elected the New York Times to determine national security policy, the only action I know to register protest for their irresponsible action (treason?) is to withdraw support of their operations by canceling our subscription as many others are doing," Mendall D. Morgan, Jr. wrote in a June 28 email to library staff."If enough do, perhaps they will get the point." --story from www.mysa.com

When the NY Times story broke, the country again became divided. Some believe the government's "secret' programs are for the best and others are furious believing their bank troubles are due to the government's actions. But where is the line drawn on government monitoring. How far can and will the Bush admistration go. By the university participating in protesting the freedom of the press, they are protesting our Constitutional Rights. The Rights that were fought for and won by our founding fathers, now this admistraion has stripped them from under us one by one.

To close this, the only Right we will have at the end of Bush's term is the Right to Bare Arms just for Dick.
