In a rather subdued effort to rally support for their war of choice as questions arise about their continued tenures in office, a somewhat contrite and stammering President George W. Bush and his war weary, but ever slick talking side-kick, Prime Minister Tony Blair held a joint White House press conference Thursday evening. Due to the increasingly virulent insurgency that has turned their Iraq War game into a costly debacle, their once cocky cheer-leadership is now critically challenged by a credibility crunch with the voters of the U.S. and the U.K.

that features a segment by Mary Olson, CPRC board member and director of NIRS Southeast Region.

The Bush administrations collecting of phone call records on millions of Americans is a dire threat to our freedom of association. What they appear to be doing is mapping social networks. They want to know who talks to whom, and from that they can build a map of our society. One of the benefits to homeland security is that by simple linking of phone call data (or email or instant messages) to demographic data the administration can identify social groupings in considerable detail, like the Muslim community in South Carolina and their associates, or people who associate with members of some activist group. This is much more efficient than sending people with cameras to events and then trying to identify participants from their pictures.
