"Patriot Debates": FABULOUS new site on USA Patriot Act

By Andrew Cochran

I've found a terrific new site for a series of discussions and debates on the USA Patriot Act. It's Patriot Debates, a blog hosted by Stewart Baker, an attorney with major experience and accomplishments in the legalities of the counterterrorism effort. THIS is the site I've been waiting to see on the web, with top experts on the Act, from Deputy Attorney General James Comey and Viet Dinh, the "Godfather" of the Act for his leading role while at DOJ, to staunch opponent David Cole of Georgetown Law School. To begin with, check out this piece by Andrew McCarthy, who prosecuted the 1993 WTC bombing case, on why Sections 214 and 215 (the so-called "library records" section, actually a misnomer) should be retained. This gets a permanent link in the "Centers" box on the right sidebar, and we look forward to each new post.
