President’s Admission Fuels Privacy Concerns

There is little doubt that this slow and quiet weekend before Christmas has aroused great deal of passion and concern around the relationship between government and communication privacy.

After years of denial, it has finally come out that America’s Republican government is spying on the telephone and email communications of, well, whomever they feel like. And what makes it worse still is that they have absolutely no warrant – no legal justification to be doing this.

This renews the frequently asked, yet never properly answered question of just how far governments can go in the ongoing quest to fight terrorism. President Bush claims that wiretapping technology is essential in smoking out terrorist factions, and bringing them to justice, but should ordinary Americans have to worry about being spied on by their own government?

And I should hasten to remind you that the US Republican Party isn’t the only government intent on monitoring everyday communication channels. Before being ousted by a non-confidence vote, Canada’s Liberal government was trying to pass legislation that would allow them to spy on up to 8000 people at any given time, and force telephone companies and ISPs to reveal the personal information of customers without so much as a warrant.

So it seems that this type of policy exists outside the political spectrum, with parties from both sides advocating that the privacy rights of citizens be flushed down the toilet.

All we can really hope for is that governments will be overcome with increasing pressure from citizens who have an interest in keeping their right to communicate in private and in peace.

So whether you are Canadian or American, Liberal or Conservative, Democrat or Republican, I would strongly encourage you to write to your local representative, and ask them what they intend to do to defend your privacy.

We need to remember that there are other ways to fight the terrorist threat without blatantly infringing upon the very human dignities and freedoms that we all want to defend.
