Who Has Been Harmed by Enforcement of the Patriot Act
Reader comment on item: The Caliphate

Submitted by Julian Tepper, host, The Tepper Show, AM570 WTNT, Bethesda/Washington (United States), Dec 19, 2005 at 08:44

One Duane M. Thomas offered here that the U.S. Patriot Acts did the job for Al-Q'aeda of ending freedom of Americans and our way of life.

I've heard that assertion before.

Perhaps, finally, someone (Mr. Thomas?) can provide us with a list of each instance of which he/she is aware in which an American suffered an actual end of his/her freedom or his/her way of life because of the enforcement of any Patriot Act provision.

I'm ready to be persuaded by the facts.

Are there any?

Julian Tepper
