I think that claiming the Patriot Act is responsible for the lack of a terrorist attack on the U.S. since 9/11 is, at the very least, more than a little generous. I'm not denying that some of its provisions have not been beneficial in the fight against terrorism - that kind of claim would be just as absurd as giving complete credit to the Act - but some of its provisions need a good hard second look without the emotionalism of 9/11 in such prominent play.
