For all the faux scandals, as the dust settles a growing impatience with the ongoing extensions of the Patriot Act, the handling and history of FISA and the rest of the **cough** temporary anti *cough* terrorism comes out.

If my non scientific LGF poll is right most of us want the Patriot Act rescinded. Like most of us here I respect the Presidents work to increase the oversight on these programs. Public sentiment says that’s not good enough in the face of technology this powerful. I agree. This country needs to be the beacon of restraint and civil protections.
