From a reader:

Thought you’d find this funny. One more thing to file under: “It’s OK now that the Left is in charge.”
CNN Headline: “Public’s help needed in terror fight, Napolitano says” Story here.
Napolitano quote from the story: “”The challenge is not just using federal power to protect the country but also enlisting a much broader societal response to the threats that terrorism poses.”
I seem to remember a great hue and cry about the chilling effect of having everyone spying on one another back when there was a Republican in the White House.
