Why the hell do you care ? Someone has a home page for something on the Web. Someone at the White House looks at it. So what ? You object to the fact that somebody in the government has a Web browser and *gasp* uses it to read stuff on the WWW ???

You take moral offense to what you think someone else _might_ be thinking ? Sounds like you believe in thoughtcrime. Banned any good books lately ?
all things considered, and the fact that they aren't at all open about such monitoring.
This is absurd. You expect the White House to issue a press release every time a staffer clicks on a URL ? "WASHINGTON (UPI) The Clinton Administration unveiled plans today to add several new sites to the White House bookmarks list. At a hastily arranged press briefing this morning, Defense Secretary William Perry told reporters that the changes would be implemented in close consultation with NATO allies. There was little immediate reaction from Capitol Hill. Members on both sides of the aisle said they needed time to study the proposal in detail."
