With the Patriot Act debate raging in Congress, there has perhaps never been a better time to consider what’s at stake. And what is that? Most of us never really knew.

Regardless of how the current debate over the Patriot Act plays out, a variety of dangerous threats to our liberties will almost certainly continue in place.
