“We should be demanding more reforms than the intelligence agencies are gladly willing to offer us,” said David Segal of the activist group Demand Progress.
Congress is dealing with the matter of the unusual (unconstitutional) powers it gave the government following the events of September 11, 2001. According to The Guardian, there is not yet a bill in place to re-authorize the U.S.A. "PATRIOT" Act. Evidently, controversy has continued during the last several months, as legislators debate the merits of the sweeping powers given to the F.B.I. and the N.S.A.
It is much easier, of course, to question these powers if one has a background in the events themselves. The video displayed at right raises certain questions about one building on 9/11/01, which leads to other questions about that fateful day. It is indeed time to question, if not "everything," than surely the need to continue these draconian curtailments of civil rights guaranteed in the Constitution.
Congress Seems Interested in Curtailing Government's Intrusive Powers, But Not Enough
