I should have also added that even w/in the articles themselves, it's now becoming rare to find a Kettle spouting the 'anything to keep us safe' nonesense, case in point being Thomas Frank's article last week on the gate screening (there's a thread around here somewhere on that w/a link to the article; too early or I'd search for it).
