Sorry, Doug, but all of us Americans have ceded our power of attorney to 
that imperial state, and ultimately we have to bear the consequences.  When 
you hang out a sign saying that your government is "of the people, by the 
people and for the people," you the citizen bear inescapable responsibility 
for what that government does.  Ignorance of your duly elected agents' 
actions is no excuse.
