The Patriot Act doesn't bother me, even if it is used for regular crime. Then again I live a very clean, if boring, life.

My concern is twofold. Concern 1) That we are hit again, because the leakers helped make that happen. In which case, you will be more than right.....<i.Those that sneer at that position will be very quiet if we get hit with a major terrorist attack. Perhaps those people will be more than very quiet....those folks don't think farther than the end of their nose, and don't think anything bad will ever happen to them....

Concern 2) WHO exactly is leaking from the CIA, NSA, FBI, or is it from the Senate or House? IF the leakers are working with any of the tracking of the terrorist-wantabees, then are those same leakers the ones that are possibly the ones who have gone amuck and will be the ones who might track "normal criminal cases..."

We need to find out pronto who is leaking, and stop them. For all sorts of reasons, that have nothing to do with politics.
