Obama orders spying on co-workers

To prevent future leaks from his government, and to avoid unnecessary headaches, President Barack Obama has ordered federal employees to report suspicious actions of their colleagues. The order was issued after Bradley Manning downloaded thousands of documents from government computers and gave them to WikiLeaks.

Those who fail to report on their co-workers and friends (my addition - some of my co-workers are also my friends) could face penalties, including criminal charges.

30 years ago in the communist countries nearly every social group had at least one informer. Tomorrow, under Obama, nearly every social group will hopefully have at least one person that is not. That's what they  call "PROGRESS".
