Excellent article describing the boneheadedness of USA PATRIOT in detail. 
My personal favorite section, a quote from Rep. Ron Paul:

What does Paul believe the nation's Founding Fathers would think of this 
law? "Our forefathers would think it's time for a revolution. This is why 
they revolted in the first place." Says Paul with a laugh, "They revolted 
against much more mild oppression."

Unfortunately, I'm afraid we Americans have grown to lazy and fat for a 
revolution. OTOH, things aren't that bad yet; the problem is once they 
get there it will be exceedingly difficult to breakdown big brother, it's 
much easier to fix the problem now. A stitch in time saves nine...
