Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman apparently thinks it would be a really good idea if the government could watch your every move:

Sen. Joe Lieberman (D-Conn.), the chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, said Sunday he wants to â€œmore widelyâ€ use surveillance cameras across the country.

â€œThe Brits have got something smart going in England, and it was part of why I believe they were able to so quickly apprehend suspects in the terrorist acts over the weekend, and that is they have cameras all over London and other of their major cities,â€ Lieberman said.

â€œI think itâ€™s just common sense to do that here much more widely,â€ he added. â€œAnd of course, we can do it without compromising anybodyâ€™s real privacy.â€

Lieberman lamented the â€œpetty, partisan fightingâ€ in Congress and called on his colleagues to join together to upgrade the nationâ€™s electronic surveillance capabilities.

â€œRight now, weâ€™re at a partisan gridlock over the question of whether the American government can listen into conversations or follow e-mail trails of non-American citizen,â€ he said on ABCâ€™s This Week with George Stephanopoulos. â€œThatâ€™s wrong. Weâ€™ve got to solve that problem, pass a law to give the people working for us the ability to protect us.â€
