Protecting the Patriot Act
There has been a gap in "intelligence" in the White House for years. The public has been spied upon illegally for decades. Why protect the telecommunication companies from liablity? Nothing ever happens to them anyway. Terror is what made Congress make it a law in the first place. Osama is still out there, making videos at will. FISA makes us safer? After yesterday's shooting, we are in more danger from the home-grown nuts on campus, then any foreign threat. What Congress should be looking at is the mental health system. My suggestion: The NRA should contribute to the mental health system. 9/11 is a tragic gigantic tragedy, but if my child can't study without worrying about some nut, off his meds with a death wish, we are missing the real tragedy.
