Hi:  Well, we watch, listen, and hope.   Our governments around the world are 
scrambling to see who takes control of the future, and doing so in power 
struggles that have no interest in individual freedoms, using some kind of 
perverted rationale that when the smoke clears, the winner[s] will be able to 
create a "kinder, gentler" society for mankind.  Of course, they will 
acknowledge that folks like us had to suffer, be harmed, but that's the price.

Events like those surrounding Asscroft's announcement that inmates and 
attorneys no longer were permitted to communicate by phone, privately, 
because, in the name of preserving freedom, the government has to be able to 
catch terrorists, will continue, so we watch, listen, and hope.  If the 
American Bar Association can step up, and use a model for resolving this one, 
then maybe we can translate that model to other issues, with some success.

If they don't.  Well, I guess we watch, listen, and hope.
Tom
