Amid tight security, Rand Paul, who has made it a point to take on liberals on their own ground told 500 of his faithful Wednesday at U.C. Berkeley’s International House that the government was spying on him, you, and me.

Paul charged that government snoops are reading our mail and keeping track of our reading and viewing. Berkeley has a tradition of gov’t surveillance going back to 1941, when the FBI staked out the homes of professors connected with an A-bomb project.
