The Secret Plan to End Democracy in America
We'd do well to review elements of the USA Patriot Act, passed by Congress a month after the Sept 11th attacks. Among other things, the new law made it a crime for anybody to contribute money or material support for a group that appeared on the Terror Watch List.

It let the FBI order librarians to turn over information about people's reading habits. And it opened the door for government surveillance on our e-mails and snail-mails.
