Viet Dinh Defends The Patriot Act

Grrr writes "Wired News has posted an interview with Viet Dinh, who worked on the PATRIOT Act for the Justice Department. In the past he said, "Security without liberty - it's not an America I would want to live in." And also, in this interview, "I think right now at this time and this place the greatest threat to American liberty comes from al-Qaida and their sympathizers rather than from the men and women of law enforcement and national security who seek to defend America and her people against that threat." Several of his replies are (predictably / necessarily / discouragingly) less than direct."

Re:His name is Viet Dinh

And he may be several generations in this country. People used to Americanize their names when they came to this country, though I thought that those days were fortunately gone. Slashdot has shown otherwise, which is sad.
