t r u t h o u t | Dear Readers,
In the past ten years, the invasive, often discriminatory practices imposed by the Patriot Act and other oppressive policies have become commonplace in America. As the anniversary of 9/11 approaches, Truthout is teaming up with the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts to launch a series of critical analyses and investigative pieces related to privacy, homeland security and surveillance. Through this project, entitled "Ten Years Later: Surveillance in the 'Homeland,'" we hope to reawaken awareness of the true extent of government surveillance, and of the violations routinely carried out in the name of securing the "homeland."
As today's "What a Difference a Decade Makes" (http://www.truth-out.org/what-difference-decade-makes/1314126592 ) points out, surveillance has swelled to the point that <em>all</em> of us are targeted: "Over the decade, the government's powers of surveillance have expanded dramatically. They are directed not just at people suspected of wrongdoing, but at all of us. Our phone calls, our emails and web site visits, our financial records, our travel itineraries and our digital images captured on powerful surveillance cameras are swelling the mountain of data that is being mined for suspicious patterns and associations."
Join us as we explore the policies that are continually chipping away at our legal protections, bolstered by a culture of pervasive fear. Read the first piece in the series here (http://www.truth-out.org/what-difference-decade-makes/1314126592 ), and check out the project web site here: http://www.surveillanceinthehomeland.org/
