The ACLU has a lot of complaints about the Patriot Act. They don't like the "sneak and peak" searches, where LE gets in and out without the resident knowing about it. They don't like the unfettered access to business and other records. They don't like the power to hold people indefinitely without representation. I am sure there is more, but that is how much I remember.
And I still don't know if all of that is true and what I even think of it. The older I get, the dumber I get, I guess. But some of those powers do seem a little unwieldly. Big gubmint=not nice. No?

Coming from the same woman who burned women and children to death with her gestapo actions. I feel so much better about the "patriot" act now.

"What is unforgivable is opposing the Patriot Act even after 3,000 Americans were killed, partly because the FBI and CIA were so deeply dysfunctional."
No. What is unforgiveable is assaulting our freedoms, raping the Constitution and Bill of Rights, just so government bureaucrats may officially communicate and/or cooperate with each other.
There is no new information that the government had before 9/11 that this so-called "Patriot Act" would have provided back then anyway.

Even Reno testified in support of maligned Patriot Act Of course she did. Hell, SHE PUSHED FOR SECRET SEARCHES when Klintler wanted it.
Patroit Act sucked then, and it sucks now.

Even Reno testified in support of maligned Patriot Act Dealing with Waco heretics would be much easier using Patriot Act.
