Politics: Dems Ready To Wimp Out -- Again

The New York Times reports that fearful hand-wringing Dems would rather look tough on terrorists than hold the line on privacy rights. See the story here. Keep in mind that the attacks of 9/11 could have been prevented with existing intelligence and the laws that were on the books on September 10, 2001 according to reputable and unbiased sources like the 9/11 Commission's report and Lawrence Wright's essential Pulitzer Prize winning book The Looming Tower.
