There is a reason for the Patriot Act.
God forbid, but here is the reason:
It goes back to RICO conspiracy Laws that were designed to help the police arrest mobsters and crime lords and drug Kingpins on racketeering and conspiracy because although these bosses weren't caught in the act, they were certainly the masterminds behind the crime.
Well, guess what? The lawyers chewed so many holes in those conspiracy laws, that the crime leaders got away with it and only their grunts got jailed.
Our civil rights can't also be a suicide strait jacket either.
I wonder how we can balance the need for security and safety with civil rights ?
But, I wonder that Civil Rights might certainly be the whip that forces the Kafka nightmare of bureaucracy to do its homework (although forbidden by most civil rights surveilance laws) and make the bureaucracy actually assign a captain to follow up on any one detained for months.
The real nightmare is that bureaucracy arrests the guy and then lets the guy sit forgotten because bureaucracy doesn't have a system for paperwork to initiate the next step to actually have someone interview the detainee.
The worst evil is banal, boring in its thoughtlessness.
This type of evil is more prevalent and common than any other kind of evil known.
Evil's home is in the ill-designed bureaucracy that has no outlined procedure and if it does have one, it manages to lose the paperwork or let it sit on one desk for a whole month before it gets to the next office desk that will initiate followup on detainees.
