In opposing the four year extesnion of the so-called Patriot Act, Senator Mark Udall said, “Americans would be alarmed if they knew how this law is being acrried out,” and Sen. Ron Wyden said, “When the American people find out how their government has secretly interpreted the Patriot Act, they will be stunned and they will be angry.” Listen to this interview with the ACLU’s legislative counsel Michelle Richardson and you’ll see what they mean. Problem is, it was all done quietly.
