Andrew Sullivan points us to this opinion piece (NYT, so free registration is required) by Leonard Garment who was a lawyer for President Nixon. The recent release of more Nixon tapes has lead to quite a brouhaha about comments made my the Reverend Billy Graham. This piece discusses the problem of private speech that ends up not being private after all. It's tough living or working in an environment where nothing that you say or do is beyond the public eye. Frank Bruni's new book on President Bush suggests that the President's generally light-hearted public demeanor is his own personal way of dealing with such demands. I work in an envirnoment where every word that I speak to a client is recorded by my employer in order to protect the firm. The FBI's Carnivore project may or may not be recording everything that I say over my home telephone line. And, for all I know, the creation of I Can Blog! has made me a subversive and now my every word within my home and car are being monitored. I have not yet truly reached that level of paranoia, but thinking about it makes you realize that there are certain things that you say in certain places that you would never expect to be a matter of public record. |
