Who's Behind the Internet Snitch Brigade?
by Michelle Malkin
Czardom has its privileges. This week, President Obama's health care
overlord, Nancy DeParle, launched a taxpayer-funded initiative to
recruit an Internet Snitch Brigade that will combat "disinformation
about health insurance reform." As the White House explained in a
special online bulletin:
"These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain
e-mails or through casual conversation. Since we can't keep track of
all of them here at the White House, we're asking for your help. If you
get an e-mail or see something on the web about health insurance reform
that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov."
What will health care czar DeParle do with this information?
Where will it be stored? Who has oversight of the czar's powers, budget
and personnel? Concerned citizens, alas, will have a hard time tracking
down the "Office of Health Care Reform" created by executive order in
April. There is no central website for the office, no direct channel
for transparency and no congressional accountability.
