Whining about the Patriot Act:

"The American Civil Liberties Union is running an ad alleging that the USA Patriot Act allows authorities to search homes "without notifying us . . . treating us all like suspects." That's not exactly true.

Actually, notice still has to be given to the subject of such a search, eventually. And far from treating us "all" like suspects, the Department of Justice reports seeking only 47 such "sneak-and-peek" warrants in the law's first 17 months.

"Sneak-and-peek" searches are now easier to get, legal in all jurisdictions, and the law contains no practical limit on how long authorities can delay notifying the subject of a search. But contrary to the impression left by the ad, they aren't new: some federal courts allowed them prior to the USA Patriot Act."

They can sneak and peak all they want. I am willing to cooperate with a government agency that is here to protect me.

I don't expect them to do a perfect job either. I just want them to do as good as they can and get the bad guys if they can.

I saw a Muslim woman on TV whining because her husband had been arrested and had been held for 5 months. She said in bad english "this country give ne hard time. Her husband had an expired visa.

Why would anybody find fault with this? Her husband was here illegaly and If this country too hard on her, why don't she leave? Evidently it is better than the country she came from.

Either comply with our immigration laws or stay home.

I am glad you agree with me that There IS a terrorist threat.
