Lautenberg wants to use Bush's secret watch list to restrict a civil liberty..

Blows my mind that so many folks are for this. The Patriot Act was disgusting, and should never have been passed in the first place. Their needs to be a clear and concise way to get OFF of it, even Senator Kennedy was on the damn thing... Until their is a clear way to get off the damn list, I cannot support this at all.

Of course flagging someone by name is the best idea. Terrorists would never think to change their names.
