Globally Rational

As I’ve mentioned before, I really don’t mind sacrificing my privacy if it means that the government can keep better tabs on what everybody is doing (and use that information to catch criminals and terrorists).  It seems to me that people can get away with a lot of questionable acts with the excuse that it’s a part of their private life.

Recently, a public court ruled that the White House doesn’t have to reveal internal correspondence.  It seems that a significant chunk of emails, which may have contained information about the Iraq War, were permanently deleted before they were released to the public (in defiance of previously accepted regulations).  Apparently, the President can cite his own privacy as a good reason to not justify his own actions.

I can’t put it any better than the article itself… click here to check it out.
