Letter: Former justice’s quote applies to Bush

Sunday, May 14, 2006 | 7:15 a.m.

The newest revelation about the Bush administration spying on Americans in the name of national defense brings to mind a quotation from one of history's greatest Supreme Court justices, Louis D. Brandeis.

He stated that, "The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, but without understanding." Unfortunately, that description is an exact characterization of our current leadership.

Wallace J. Henkelman, Henderson
