One senator actuallytook the time to read it, and he voted against it. I was as stunned as anyone after 9-11, but what came out afterwards showed that it was a monumental failure of the intelligence agencies to communicate and follow the findings and leads of their own agents, not because we didn't have the patriot act nacted. But they took advantage of our fear, and rushed a bill through to give the gov't the powers they've wanted for years, the american people need to pay a little more attention.
