In late 2001, in response to the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the Bush administration proposed the USA Patriot Act, which gave law enforcement agencies expanded surveillance and intelligence-gathering powers. Congress overwhelmingly approved the Patriot Act on the condition that most provisions of the act would expire in 2005. President Bush now wants all provisions of the act extended. Should they be? Or are the provisions dangerous and unnecessary infringements on our civil liberties? Peter Robinson speaks with Jenny Martinez and John Yoo.
in response to fake terrorist attacks by Tim Osman, civil liberties bye bye

@GaiusIuliusTaberna You have no idea of what you write here. You have no knowledge of the truth only what the corporate media tells you what to believe. Read the FORBIDDEN TRUTH, by Brisard-Dosquire, it will give you documented proof you have absolutely no idea of what you speak

They should have brought Gene Healy in instead of Martinez.

This war on terror has become a de facto war on "us." Enough with these measures that restrict our rights. I am with Ms. Martizenz. I think John Yoo is wrong.
This is no longer a war and it's not evident that we were treating it effectively like a war. We have 30k troops on the Korean border. How do we not have those troops on our own US border. There is an open drug war, entrepreneurial in purpose, that is driving supply into small American towns today undermining non-urban character.

@duanescot We were in Iraq to depose a sadomasochistic genocidal tyrant and where do you get off calling Obama insane? This isn't some cheesy talk radio show...

When people say that were in Iraq to protect our freedom, I have to laugh, the only people we citizens should fear for the loss of freedom, are people like GWB and Barack insane Obama, end of story. The patriot act should be repealed immediately
