This Is Rich

It seems that some of our fearless leaders are outraged – outraged I tell you! – about the fact that China plans to do during the Olympics what they have enabled the Bush administration to do EVERY DAY, namely monitor the electronic and telecommunications of people attending the Beijing Olympics.

Earlier this year, the U.S. State Department issued a fact sheet warning travelers attending the Olympic games that "they have no reasonable expectation of privacy in public or private locations" in China.

I must assume that the equivalent departments in other countries have already warned their citizens that they should make the same assumption when they are in the United States.
