the current administration passed the USA Patriot Act without proper discussion, anyone who opposes it is accused of giving aid and comfort to terrorists. they have used the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks to expand its authority and erode civil liberties. this is the same administration that failed to stop the september 11 attacks before they happened. the same administration that currently refuses to hand over documents related to information they had before the Sept. 11 attacks.
the USA Patriot Act allows the FBI to secretly obtain a variety of information about ordinary Americans, including medical records, reading habits, religious affiliations and Internet surfing. thanks to the Patriot Act, any american citizen can now be held in custody for an indefinite amount of time, never given legal counsel, and never being told what they are being charged with. as of november 1, 209 communities and 34 states have passed ordinances refusing to comply with certain parts of the Patriot Act if requested to do so by the FBI. south kingstown and jamestown rhode island are among them.
