Just last week a library in Ithaca, NY bragged on their finest hour.

A terror threat was levelled at Brandeis University. The FBI was able to trace the email back to the library in Ithaca.

When the FBI arrived the librarians refused to allow the FBI access to the computers without a warrant.

This warrant took HOURS to obtain, all the while the university was under terror threat.

There are many things in the Patriot Act that must be renewed to enable the President to do his job.

And all the while, the Patriot Act was in effect.
Which makes me wonder how the incident relates to your conclusion ...

THAT is a terrific story!!!

For some crazy reason..one of the main reasons that the dems, and some reps have been battling the Patriot Act was the ability for the FBI to see library records...

THIS should play right into the hands of the good guys...and quit playing around with the Patriot Act.
