Theoligarchy Watch (cont'd) - in the dark

it's become the accepted way of doing business in this post-coup d'etat, one-party government...

The Patriot Act was passed in haste, in the angst-filled days after the Sept. 11 attacks, with some lawmakers candidly admitting they never read the details. That was one of the reasons key sections included expiration dates, so calmer heads of the future would have an opportunity to fix mistakes. Now that opportunity is here, and far from removing obvious threats to civil liberties in the law, the White House and eager Senate Republicans seem bent on making it worse.

Citizens who want to keep an eye on the process will have no easy task. The most crucial debates of the Senate Intelligence Committee are being kept closed to the public.

after all, what could WE as CITIZENS possibly NEED TO KNOW about how our CIVIL LIBERTIES ARE BEING COMPROMISED...?
