Clarity of Thought
Debra Burlingame, whose brother was a pilot on American Flight 77, which crashed into the Pentagon on September 11, puts into perspective the arguments over renewal of the Patriot Act and the NSA phone monitoring kerfuffle. You can't read this piece with an open mind and not believe that we as a society are overlawyered.
My amazement never ceases at the readiness of the loony left to give the likes of bin Laden, Zawahiri and Zarqawi, not to mention Amahdinijad, the benefit of the doubt while simultaneously ascribing the worst motives to their own government. It's a pity they can't live a few months in, say, Iran or Cuba and experience the absence of freedom that they are always blaming on the US government.
