Juan Cole now, rightly so, questions just how far down the rabbit hole we've gone in pursuit of the National Security State

professor cole asks a question that many of us have been asking for years...

The Congress should revisit the PATRIOT Act in the light of the revelation of what was attempted in my regard, and should repeal the damn thing. Failing that, the federal judiciary should find it unconstitutional, which it is. But one of the things that worries me is that some of the key political and judicial personnel who might want to move against it may themselves already have been victims of surveillance, entrapment and blackmailing. Just how corrupt has our whole governmental apparatus become, that clear violations of our Constitution are blithely accepted?

members of congress and the judiciary all swear oaths to uphold and protect the constitution of the united states... you can't help but wonder why they don't do it...
