Obama Quietly Backs PATRIOT Act Provisions

,----[ Quote ]
| With the health care debate preoccupying the 
| mainstream media, it has gone virtually

| PATRIOT Act that civil libertarians say 
| infringe on basic freedoms.

Former FBI agent slams defence tactics in McKinnon case

,----[ Quote ]
| Ed Gibson, who moved from his role as the FBIâs
| assistant legal to work as Microsoftâs chief
| security advisor in the UK back in 2005, said
| that if the self-confessed hacker had accepted
| voluntary extradition when he offered it back
| in 2003 then he would have âbeen out of jail
| four years agoâ instead of facing extradition
| now.
|
| [...]
|
| Janis Sharp, McKinnon's mum, gave us a robust
| reaction to Gibson's comments. "Ed Gibson is
| the same man that said to Gary's legal team
| that they'd prosecute Gary to max and state
| wanted to see him fry."
