Ace of Spades HQ: "He then amplified this letter (signed by him, but written by someone else) by talking about civil liberties in a speech now regarded as "hilarious... perhaps the greatest comic masterpiece since A Night at the Opera--" Rex Reed, The New Yorker.
If someone wants to know why their own government has decided to go on a fishing expedition through every personal record or private document - through library books they've read and phone calls they've made - this legislation gives people no rights to appeal the need for such a search in a court of law. No judge will hear their plea, no jury will hear their case. This is just plain wrong.James Rosen could not be reached for comment, but a secret government surveillance into all of his phone calls and emails says he's pretty pissed."
