Apparently the White House is now monitoring what we say on the internet about Obama.

    I figured the WH has been doing this way before Obama came along...was I just being too cynical?

    I mean Dubbya must have been tracking everything we said and making lists of possible domestic terror threats.

      Jay- There is a difference between looking and storing the information. Looking around social networking sites to uncover terror plots or other crimes is one thing, but actively storing information from everyone as the article insinuates is quite another.

    Given folks like the guy who shot a bunch of women in a local gym recently tend to talk about their plans on the web, I can see where some monitoring of web activity would be wise for national security purposes.

    How, exactly, might privacy rights be implicated by the collection of statements posted voluntarily in public forums?
