Republican pols and the Bush Justice Department are pushing for laws that would force your ISP to retain records of all your internet activity. The putative rationale: Cracking down on kiddie porn.
Yeah, right. As though the Grand Old Pedophile party wants to stop child abuse. Obviously, this proposed new law intends to track political activity. We've already seen how the FBI and Homeland Security have spied on anti-war groups.
It's easy to foresee how the scam will work. First, the feds will target a liberal activist. Then, spoofing the email address of a friend, they will send the target a link with an innocent-seeming URL. The link contains a kiddie-porn image. There's a record of the visit, admissible in court...and viola. One activist visits the slammer, others are intimidated, and conservative propagandists portray themselves as the party of virtue trying to save your children from demonic liberals.
