Email eavesdropping? Sort of

We have a new commenter, kvatch, and already I'm borrowing. I looked back to see if we had already covered it. I didn't see it and I know I didn't so here it is. Worried American, if I'm duplicating one of your posts, I apologize. Once of the girls has been messing around with my computer desk(she's a born straightener-upper) and I can't locate my cheat sheet for pasting a link into a sentence. She left me two gummy worms in return. Until I find it kvatch can be found at blogonymous.com. Worried American shows it as an actual link in her post below.

Apparently it's okay for the government to snoop through the headers of your email (but not the contents, at least not yet) without a warrant. I email many friends and family who are not only uninvolved with my political activities, but actually disagree in some cases. We remain friends and family who agree to disagree.

Does this mean that because my son's name shows up frequently, I'm putting him in jeopardy? How about my pastors? They're on my mailing list as well. Both Senators and my Congressional Representative? All the time. Actually, they'd probably love to beat down my Junior Senator's door given the opportunity.

Shades of Joe McCarthy indeed. He was finally recognized for what he was but not before innocent lives were destroyed. All in the name of freedom, of course.
