Taking out such an insurance policy is an interesting and
new form of admitting guilt.

Some say similar fates await the leaders of the coalition of the
willing. No wonder the USA opted out of the World Court. Although
that seems as fruitful as me opting out of Australian jurisprudence.

to erode our own privacy are now being used against members of
the agency that abuses those databases.
