StumbleLetter: Patriot Act’s use is ominous sign
Monday, Nov. 10, 2003 | 8:46 a.m.
This letter pertains to the FBI's use of the Patriot Act in the ongoing local political corruption case. Attorney General John Ashcroft has told us that the Patriot Act will violate some citizens' civil liberties but that this is necessary to protect us from terrorism.
That the FBI would use this act in a nonterrorist-related case is a warning to where this bad legislation is heading.
