Minority Report

Hitchens, Christopher | July 12, 1999 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses issues related to the U.S.-China relations. Chinese military-industrial sources managed to transfer an awful lot of money to the Democratic National Committee. Many tranches of valuable information made their way from American nuclear laboratories into the computer systems of the People's Republic of China. Thus, everyone of the Clintonian defenses raises additional suspicions. The Clinton Administration, through legal measures such as the Anti-Terrorism and Intelligence Authorization acts, has been treating the Fourth Amendment as an inconvenience since at least 1996. The chief exhibit in this contempt for the U.S. Constitution is the "roving wiretap" whereby any phone to which a suspect is "reasonably proximate" can be invigilated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
