Mr. Attorney General,

The recent approval of warrentless surveillance of phone calls and e-mails has me concerned, and I thought it only fair to alert you to the following:

I am a proud Luddite, Mr. Attorney General, and as such, do not coo into my cell phone, nor do I have e-mail. As far as I know you have yet to slit open sealed personal envelopes, although this cannot be too far in the offing, right? Anyway, I did want you to know that I think you, and the administration you so loyally serve have brought a new low to the arena of U.S. politics. You win the limbo dance!

Should you like a stronger comment, all you have to do is look me up in the phone book; yes, I do have a land line phone! I will be more than happy to satisfy your unlawful questions in that venue - meanwhile, I wish you many sleepless nights.

P.S. Hey, is there still free speech in your country?
