Ted, The CIA and the FBI have acted like big brother for years now. Now the Patriot Act gives them even more power......all they need and more. Besides, most of their work would be in the field......read ME, Asia and Europe.

Like I said before, when you consider that Abu Ghraib might be an illustration of some of the tactics used "in the field," you too will start wondering whether American security is worth breaching the "rights" of the terrorist suspects.

How quickly you forget.....PM Aznar lost his job over the issue. He argued with Spanish intel, stating that it was ETA, Basque terrorists, rather than al Qa'ida that did the job. Spanish intel stood its ground and argued otherwise....laying out its case. This is not new news.....do a google.

All of that was hindsight and second-guessing. None of that changes my opinion, though Aznar should have known even in hindsight that it was Al Qaeda instead of Basque terrorists.
