Al Qaeda's Greatest Victory.

Intelligence effort named citizens, not terrorists | Politics | The Seattle Times


This is absolutely outrageous. A term that is overused and has been diminished by that abuse. But I warned of the abuse that would be perpetrated by this type of intelligence gathering and this is just the tip of the iceberg. The Patriot Act and its attendant violations of civil liberties have been the greatest victory that Al Qaeda has won. They have caused us to surrender our dear independence and liberty through intimidation and fear. Very distressing

It is just a fact of life that when license to violate privacy is granted that it will end up being abused.  It always happens.
