I assume the ACLU is all over this

President Barack Obama appears slated to receive unprecedented power to monitor all Internet traffic without a warrant and to even shut the system down completely on the pretext of national security

Everyone remember how much strife they gave Bush about how tapping foreign lines would lead to, well, this sort of thing. Bush was trying to intercept terrorist communications. Obama seems to be going for a power grab. In actuality, it is technically impossible to monitor the entire Internet simply because of the massive amount of traffic that goes through every minute. Instead it could be used to monitor the traffic of specific people but the Obama administration would never target someone politically, would it?

So ACLU, are you going to be all over this? I won’t hold my breath

“The most open administration in history”

Not even close…

The U.S. Federal Reserve has told Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Citigroup Inc. and other banks to keep mum on the results of “stress tests” that will gauge their ability to weather the recession, people familiar with the matter said.

Maybe they could compromise and just release the results in Klingon or in Obama-speak, which is completely incomprehensible anyway
