 Many of the caller's into Tom Ashbrook's "On Point" Public Radio program [1] said they had no problem with being monitored - because "they had nothing to hide".

But that was over a half century ago.  

And we forget.

We are fighting the wrong terrorists.  

We have become our own domestic terrorists.
