Slowly sliding across the line? I'd say it's been about as slow as the last lap of the Indy 500.
What else do you want.
The patriot act is now history.
No more detaining padilla without a trial.
No more aggressive terrorist interrogation tactics.
No more wiretaps.
No more renditions.
No more secret prisons in europe.
We have less anti terror laws than before 9/11. Heck you can even carry a knife on a plane again. What else do you want.
It is amazing that the critics of these anti terrorist measures win by having them go away and they still aren't happy.
