Too Many Unknowns in the Patriot Act

Law Professor Glenn Reynolds' new Tech Central Station column is up on the dangers of the Patriot Act:
.... the Justice Department's unwillingness to release information on how it is implementing the Patriot Act is deeply troubling. Sure, there are some tactical secrets that shouldn't be released. But it's been a year and a half since the Patriot Act was passed, and information on how the rather sweeping power that it granted has been used isn't being released. As Representative James Sensenbrenner recently complained, this sort of close-to-the-vest attitude makes it rather hard to trust them.
Reynolds adds a lot of historical perspective to the column. This is becoming a recurrent theme for him and we look forward to reading more at Instapundit and his MSNBC blog.
