You claim it is so broad (and agree with the Clinton appointee). Nobody would actually prosecute you for giving directions to some terrorist you didn't know was a terrorist on a mission!

Give me a damn break.

The way the provision is written now, they COULD prosecute you for giving directions to a terrorist. If the government has no intention of using the Patriot Act in this way, then it should have no problem with tightening the language.

Right! Tell me again. I supported the forfeiture provisions of the War on Drugs, as they said it will only be used against the big dealers. Then they took a widows home, because unbeknownst to her, her teenage son was selling MJ while she was at work. Tell me again. Right!!

If you won't stand for the constitution, you will eventually get run over by the bureaucrats wanting to solidify their power and prestige. Then who will you cry to?
