Since the Sentinel has blacklisted me

Except for one LTTE a long time ago, the Orlando Sentinel has ignored everything I've sent them. It shouldn't be difficult to get a letter printed every now and then, especially considering some of the shit they do print. Therefore, here's my latest that they will probably ignore;

Bad for America
Thank you for printing the editorial from Alberto Gonzalez in support of the Patriot Act. He is the best argument possible against it. Remember, this is the man that was negligent in his counsel regarding dozens of executions in Texas. In a written memo to the President, he stated that terrorism "renders obsolete Geneva's strict limitations on questioning of enemy prisoners and renders quaint some of its provisions." Gonzalez argued for torture, writing a memo that included the opinion that laws prohibiting torture do "not apply to the President's detention and interrogation of enemy combatants."

The Patriot Act has never been demonstrated to prevent terrorism, and would not have prevented the events of September 11. All it does is infringe on our liberties. Clearly Alberto Gonzalez has no respect for the Constitution, and his support all but assures that it is bad for America. Let's hope that the US Senate agrees.
