You say baloney to my assertion that America is going down a slippery slope with the Patriot Act and the way it treats detainees at Gitmo.

Consider however that it is not too far a jump for some uber patriot to now accuse me of giving aid and comfort to the enemy just because I question the merit of the Patriot Act. After all the purpose of the Patriot Act is to fight terrorism - one could argue anyone who questions it must be "for" the terrorists.

That is a slippery slope. The Constitution, Individuals rights, the First Amendment - these are the things that make America great - not the restricting Patriot Act.
