My friend overseas

I have a friend who lives overseas. We used to work together here in America many years ago. He was born in America and is an American but has lived and worked over seas for several years now. Today I received an email from him. He is much better at maintaining our friendship than I am. I'm grateful for that. However today when I replied to his email I couldn't help but to wonder if he and I are now on the "watch list." You know, the watch list for domestic spying without a warrant being conducted by the Bush administration.
It is an outrage that I have to be concerned with such.
To compound my fears I am afraid that I may have unintentionally gotten another friend caught up in this mess today when I asked him to check out "1984" from the local library. Now he is likely on the "list" too.
Annie get your gun while we still have the second amendment. You heard me right, I'm a moderate that believes in the right to bear arms.
