A cursory inspection of the sources Fox found seemed to consist pretty much of that one document reproduced endlessly, and lots of angst over it. No more facts available. I don't think anybody needs to apologize, though, for taking it seriously. Eternal vigilance really is the price of liberty.

Something that occurred to me the other day: It's long been a maxim that "ignorance of the law is no excuse". But now, with the "Patriot" Act, we have a body of law with secret provisions. If a law is secret and you violate it, is ignorance now a valid excuse? If the answer is no, we should really start to worry that we're living in a police state.

Are you sure you don't understand why Ashcroft and his "Patriot" Act make people a little nervous?
