Remember all of the wailing and gnashing of teeth over the "civil rights abuses" of the Bush regime.  I am waiting to hear if the same voices are going to pipe up over this newest abuse...

President Barack Obama’s embrace of a national database to store the DNA of people arrested but not necessarily convicted of a crime is heartening to backers of the policy but disappointing to criminal-justice reformers, who view it as an invasion of privacy.

Others also worry the practice would adversely affect minorities.

In an interview aired Saturday on “America’s Most Wanted,” Obama expressed strong agreement as host John Walsh extolled the virtues of collecting DNA at the time of an arrest and putting it into a single, national database.

“We have 18 states who are taking DNA upon arrest,” Walsh said. “It’s no different than fingerprinting or a booking photo. ... Since those states have been doing it, it has cleared 200 people that are innocent from jail.”

But I am not holding my breath.  Most of the folks yelling the loudest about the Bush Administration "abuses" are not true believers in civil rights, but pure partisan hacks who were only looking to score cheap political points
