In an editorial in this morning's
Des Moines Register, the editorial board accuses the President of declaring war on the American people.
Although clearly triggered by the recent revelations of the NSA's electronic eavesdropping on Americans without going through procedures established under FISA in 1978, the editorial cites several other actions by the Administration which demonstrate that this President believes he is answerable to no one.
The editorial calls upon Congress to reclaim its duty to find out what is going on, and bring it to a halt.
It's a pretty strong statement by the largest newspaper in the state of Iowa. I hope that more newspapers will follow suit.
