Getting it Right with the Patriot Act

Apparently Brandon Mayfield, the lawyer arrested in Seattle, is innocent and been released. There is a lot of controversy surrounding the Patriot Act and this cannot help. To find out that FBI agents snuck into his house while he and his family were gone, without a warrant or without having to let him know, is very disturbing. This is a blatant violation of an American's rights and cannot be accepted. Particularly now that we're hearing the FBI had been told weeks earlier that it was not a match of Mayfield's fingerprints on the items found in Madrid.



If the administration wants the Patriot Act to fly, then they had better start assuring the American people that it is going to be used properly. The President could be in big trouble if we keep witnessing innocent people being arrested and detained without access to basic Constitutional rights.
