This is probably true. We could be so utterly screwed if a moral pygmy like Howard Dean got his facistic, grubby hands on the Patriot Act. I hope Hatfill wins and I hope The Patriot Act is thoroughly rewritten. I understand why it had to be passed, I just think it either needs a sunset provision or a less panicky rewrite.

Good luck trying to sue the Federal Government...

Oh please, Mr. Hatfill ruined his own reputation and job prospects by embellishing his resume and getting caught at it in full public view.

I'll be interested to see how this one goes. I have no idea how innocent or guilty Hatfill may be but it is apparent that the Feds don't have enough to press charges and they've ruined the guys life in the mean time.

We may never know why they did it. I've always had in the back of my mind that there could be some intelligence or national security issue having nothing to do with anthrax that they suspect him of and they've just never been able to get the goods on him - so they shut him down the only way they could short of murdering him. Being a US citizen that would be kinda touchy I suppose.

Of course he could be just some poor stooge who happened to fit the profile so they roasted him.
