Hello all-

While opinions are much like posterior orifices - everybody has at least one, the article and opinion from this author on the Patriot Act, in general and in relation to other US government work, is at least interesting. Especially about the news on Section 215 of the Patriot Act. Does this Act work for us or against us? Is this good security or bad government or something else entirely?

The author also has an eWeek link (wow) for an article on Patriot Act II.

After reading both, I feel less like a patriot and more like a victim of my own government.

Where is the ACLU on this one? Oh... here they are: http://www.aclu.org/safefree/general...s20051116.html
