"Democracy Abhors Undue Secrecy" `

The Top News Article from Reuters is that the U.S.A.P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act is unconstitutional. Unconstitutional inasmuch as the Act gave the FBI essentially unchecked power to demand records from businesses without a warrant or judicial review, and barred anyone contacted from even disclosing the surrender of documents. To anyone. Including, say, your lawyer. Or a judge.

This was so messed up that the ACLU had to file the suit under seal while challenging the law, or else they would also be breaking it!
