Readers, if you really want to be informed about what the U.S. government is up to, you have to read foreign newspapers to get some parts that seem to be ignored by our national media.

Take this item in The Guardian, which I read every day. The well-written London paper reports and comments extensively on U.S. affairs that somehow escape the radar of Stateside reporters.

The spooky story says the FBI wants access to British databases to help it set up an international databases of iris, palm , and fingerprints, supposedly to help catch criminals worldwide..

That, of course, could easily be expanded to keep track of anyone. Knowing that Bush still is president, and that another Clinton could soon be president, I’m more than a little bit worried about this database. Whaddya think?
