Thanks also to the reader who called to Dawn's attention Herr Ashcroft's latest plan to turn us into a nation of finking neighbors. In a sweeping program reminiscent of the East German secret police, our attorney general is
urging all citizens loyal to the homeland to report "suspicious" activity by neighbors in something called "Operation TIPS." TIPS stands for Terrorism Information and Prevention System. The program will use workers in
the transportation industry and elsewhere to report "potentially unusual or suspicious activity in public places." It will set up a toll free hotline and "national database." Information collected will be "referred electronically to a
point of contact in each state." With all his time devoted to turning neighbor against neighbor, no wonder Herr Ashcroft has no time to bother busy executives at Enron, Arthur Andersen, WorldCom, and the like with pesky
questions about multi-billion dollar fleecings of naive investors....
