Shame on Mass Surveillance

wtf?

President Bush acknowledged on Saturday that he had ordered the National Security Agency to conduct an electronic eavesdropping program in the United States without first obtaining warrants, and said he would continue the highly classified program because it was "a vital tool in our war against the terrorists."

Shame

Upon his brow shame is asham’d to sit;
-- William Shakespeare (Juliet in Romeo and Juliet (act III, scene ii)

Note: this is taken out of context from the original text in which Juliet is trying to make the case that Romeo is wrongly shamed. I thought casting it as "even shame is shamed to sit on George W. Bush's brow" was a nice twist on the quote.
