Safe and Free from Patriot II

Posted by michael on from the jackboot dept.

JJ22 writes "The ALCU has a press release about a full page ad they have running in the New York Times. See the ad here. It gives a list of some of the freedoms which were taken away under the Patriot Act, and lists more which Ashcroft is pushing for under Patriot II. Obviously, you should only be concerned about losing your liberties if you're a terrorist (or similar dissident)."

    Here is a list of books you better never buy, or check out of a library. After all, you aren't a terrorist, are you?

    The ALCU has a press release...

    And yes, I was kind of excited to see something I had submitted (after 12 previous tries) actually get accepted.

    I think we can make an educated guess why some of your previous 12 attempts didn't get accepted.

    or possibly the ACLU. I'll check back in two days when this story is reposted just to be sure.

    I would comment on this but I live in the U.S. so I better not.
