'The Five' - Painful rant on Patriot Act and Social Network Analysis.
2015-05-31
[Right Scoop] Dana Perino dramatically ended a very contentious debate on the Five when she announced that if there's another terrible attack on America, the Federal Government will gobble up more civil liberties "than anything you've ever imagined."

Watch the entire debate below, Dana's comment comes at the end:
Parino's statement should not be seen as a warning, but rather an administration goal.
I should think these comments should be taken with great seriousness, as Dana was the press secretary for George W. Bush and probably has a pretty keen understanding of what the Federal Government has in store for us if there's another attack.

Not like it didn't happen to some degree before, as in, say the US Civil War, or World War I, and to a lesser extent in WWII... but that requires an impartial knowledge of US history.

Also, it rather puts the "go shopping" remark in a rather different light, no?
