"A quick review of the Patriot Act wouldn't hurt you, if you need evidence of the deterioration of liberties in the US."


A "quick review" would be more of a review than it got when it was first passed!

Amazing how Congress was able to write and pass a 1500+ page document into law in less than a month after 9-11. Surely it wasn't pre-written and just waiting for a 9-11-style event to occur?

A little fact conveniently overlooked by those who would rather blindly trust their leaders in Washington. Thinking for yourself is hard work, you know.

And parts of it wouldn't have been written during the Clinton administration, and then shelved after Al Gore received negative feedback over remarks he made about some of the items to be addressed, would it?
