Good heavens? I'm not sure I deserved that nor why you had to take it to that level. It really wasn't necessary and answering the questions you've posed would suggest I am against fighting terrorist. I'm not! I'm against the risk of being treated like a terrorist! I would hope everyone questions our government and it's misuse of power or even if it has the potential for it's misuse. The PATRIOT Act was developed and signed into law 45 days after 911 and with virtually no review or debate. Americans got to read it after it was signed into law. Please, you really need to read what it's capable of then comment. There was and is very little Congressional oversight and a number of parts within the act has a very great potential for serious domestic abuse. Frankly, it would be easier for you to explain why you would be willing to give up so much of your freedom for the sake of security.

And just for the record I did serve between the years 1963 and 1969, and I would do so again for the very same reasons.

Hugs
