<a href="http://www.billingsgazette.com//index.php?id=1&display=rednews/2006/01/20/build/nation/30-google-search.inc">Google, Bush administration clash over search requests</a><br />n<br />n<blockquote>Google Inc. is rebuffing the Bush administration's demand for a peek at what millions of people have been looking up on the Internet's leading search engine – a request that underscores the potential for online databases to become tools for government surveillance.<br />n<br />nMountain View-based Google has refused to comply with a White House subpoena first issued last summer, prompting U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales this week to ask a federal judge in San Jose for an order to force a handover of the requested records. </blockquote><br />n<br />nDemanding records from a private company to satisfy an itch for information. Shouldn't this require a warrant? What's the reasonable cause for the warrant besides the Government wanting to know? This administration believes on trampling our rights and is continuing on. I hope Google holds steadfast here for all our rights.<br />n<br />n<b>Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest. Mark Twain</b>
