Both Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul want to repeal the Patriot Act. They have voted repeatedly against it despite pleas from the FBI and CIA Directors that it is an essential tool in keeping this nation safe from attack by militant Islamic fundamentalists.

"Good morning Mr. Chairman. Senator Leahy and Members of the Committee. I am pleased to be here today with the Attorney General to talk with you about the ways in which the USA Patriot Act has assisted the FBI with its efforts in the war on terror. For almost three and a half years, the USA Patriot Act has changed the way the FBI operates. Many of our counterterrorism successes are the direct result of the provisions of the Act. As you know, several of these provisions are scheduled to "sunset" at the end of this year. I firmly believe that it is crucial to our national security to renew these provisions. Without them, the FBI might well be forced into pre-September 1lth practices, requiring us -agents, analysts and our partners -to fight the war on terror with one hand tied behind our backs."

Both Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul want to repeal the Patriot Act.

Is it because it lets the federal government throw people in jail without habeus corpus?
