[Richard-SIA]

The cynically names "Patriot Act" is the 9-11 terrorist greatest triumph!

It is far more devastating to the foundations of America than the murder of a few thousand citizens and the destruction of a few buildings.

The terrorist never really thought that they could destroy America with their violent plots, they know that only congress can rip the American constitution to shreds.

Their hope was that congress would react exactly as they did, seizing the same excuse the Nazi's used, that the situation was now so desperate that ANY means is justifiable in pursuit of the critical desired result.

This "The end justifies the means" hysteria is the antitheses of what was intended by the founders of the great American experiment.

Terrorism must not be rewarded with weakening of the constitutional protections that made America the pinnacle of freedom.

It is far more devastating to the foundations of America than the murder of a few thousand citizens and the destruction of a few buildings.

Few more buildings, few thousand more deaths and freedom is gone.
