Maybe, might, could. Sorry but the REAL record is people like Pedia and that jerk in New York being arrested due to Patriot Act powers BEFORE they could carry out Terrorists acts. Sorry but hyperventilating about what MAY happen is stupid. ANYTHING the Government does can be abused.

Using Craig's standard NOTHING should ever be done by Government. It may be abused by some future government so we cannot do it! THAT is why the price of Liberty is eternal vigilance not eternal inertia! It was EXACTLY this hysteric mindset that created the Gorelick Wall. Sorry but the Constitution is NOT a suicide pack. The Anti-Goverment paranoia of the Baby Boomer's is childish. We ARE the Government. Government of, for and BY the people. It is not some sort of enemy grouping out to "get you". We are at War. Wake UP before you get MORE Americans killed with your rabid paranoia.

The only one hyperventilating here on this seems to be you. I suggest Craigs concerns be considered. They seem reasonable to me to keep the PA as strong as possible for the purpose intended and strengthen unnecessary weaknesses impacting American citizens. Whether there has been abuse is looking backward. Looking forward is what is important, and plugging holes before there is abuse is really a better plan. If you trust without question you set yourself up and I'm sure you are aware of that. I see this as setting up the next administration... which by the looks of things could be a Democrat. And we all know how trustworthy they've been on National Security. My motto: "Don't Tease the Bears".

Calm down, and understand Craig's concerns. Let him have some airtime to explain it to the public and address questions, even stupid ones.

He is NOT trying to protect terrorists as the left is, he is trying to plug holes impacting everyday law abiding American citizens. JMHO.

Now... chill out and have a Margarita. No salt.. it's bad for blood pressure.
