Terrorists Admit Failure Caused By Patriot Act The Washington Times reports this morning that members of the homegrown terrorist organization The Portland Seven complained that government action, including the Patriot Act, "crimped their terrorist plans." The Washington Times reports the leader of the group, Jeffrey Leon Battle “even invoked President Bush by name. ‘Everybody's scared to give up any money to help us,’ he told an informant. ‘Because of that law that Bush wrote about, you know, supporting terrorism, whatever.’” Syndicated columnist Terence P. Jeffrey, the author of the article, writes “Redundant defenses protected America from these terrorists. NSA intercepts didn't discover them, though they might have -- just as they might discover a similar cell tomorrow. Alert local police helped. The Patriot Act was crucial."
