	To be honest, you are way too late. The critical time was shortly after 
9/11.There was enough of a scare about 9/11 and anthrax (which the admin did 
a number of lies on), that this admin has been able to remove the normal 
public oversight and religate it to the politicians.  So everybody went for 
an impossible security from terrorist and have now set us up for terrorism 
from our own government.

	 Keep in mind, that for a long time, admins. have hidden what goes on by 
keeping it out in the open and changing the verbage on it. I was into, 
supposedly, a bio. defense project at a university back in the early 80's. As 
time went on, we were instructed by the DoD to make changes to what and how 
we did. It became apparent over time, that we were not working on defense, 
but offense. Yet, it was out in the open and appeared defensive. BTW, that is 
the reason why the US has pushed the UN inspectors hard in Iraq to fully 
inspect hte universities.
