Radio show on surveillance in America

So-called "Austin Mayor" sez,


Chicago Public Radio's Worldview program dedicated a full hour to the US's slide towards Orwellian "Total Surveillance."

Host Jerome McDonnell interviewed Lawrence Wright — Author, The Looming Tower and Staff Writer for 'The New Yorker' — about the Director of National Intelligence's proposal to expand government surveillance Americans' use of the internet.

McDonnel also discussed Cyber-Privacy vs. Electronic Security with Marc Rotenberg, the Executive Director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center

And McDonnel reviewed the New FISA Bill with Helen Fessenden, the editor for the beltway newspaper, 'The Hill,' and author of the article, 'DoJ, ACLU Cool to Specter's FISA Deal.'

It's a comprehensive overview of the state of Big Brother today.
