Well, I could point to a certain homeowner who, after telling the Vice President he thought that the Administration's position on Iraq was "repugnant" was arrested.

Or, the "Free Speech Zones" set up in New York during the last Republican convention, which were the ONLY permitted place for protests -- blocks away from anywhere the President was passing.

Don't TELL me nothing has changed. This administration wants to hear NOTHING that doesn't square with their own evaluatuons, and will brook no opposition. Talk to the various generals who disputed the Pentagon's claim of listening to them (you know, like former CENTCOM commander Tommy Franks), or the female brigadier general who was demoted to colonel just before her retirement just for disputing the Abu Ghraib story.

Tell me again what the Patriot Act protects. Come on, tell me.
