Which is more dangerous to personal liberty in a free society: a
renegade who tells an inconvenient truth about government
law-breaking, or government officials who lie about what the
renegade revealed? That's the core issue in the great public debate
this summer, as Americans come to the realization that their
government has concocted a system of laws violative of the natural
law, profoundly repugnant to the Constitution and shrouded in
secrecy.
The liberty of which I write is the right to privacy: the right to be left alone. The Framers jealously and zealously guarded this right by imposing upon government agents intentionally onerous burdens before letting them invade it. They did so in the Fourth Amendment, using language that permits the government to invade that right only in the narrowest of circumstances.
