Interesting that it doesn't cite any abuse of the Patriot Act.

In fact, it implicitly praises the Patriot Act that put in a special Inspector General to "review information and receive complaints alleging abuses of civil rights and civil liberties by employees and officials of the Department of Justice".
Notice that this authority is not limited to Patriot Act, but covers everything in the Justice Department.

He only found some claims of abuse in the Bureau of Prisons.
I assume he looked for Patriot Act abuse too and found nothing to report.

1. Being arrested is inherently unpleasant. So it's not suprising these people didn't like it.

2. Large bureaucracies are always clumsy.

3. There are numerous complaints, not documented offenses. Apparently the worst anecdote this writer can find to support his smear is a doctor who spoke intemperately to the detainees after 9/11. That's not exactly professional behavior, but it's hardly an instance of "serious civil rights and civil liberties violatins."

How does this compare with FDRs roundup of Japanese Americans?
