Homeland Security, the Patriot Act, etc should all be struck down and abolished because they were established during a rogue regime in contempt of the Constitution. In creating non-democratic laws and rules that violate previous freedoms these acts are showing their true intended purpose. There's a good percentage of freedom respecting citizens who laud Wikileaks and its democratic purpose. These oppressive measures are the signs of governments that have cut themselves off from their people and are acting according to their own purposes and answering to themselves and not the democratic principles they say they represent.
People like Lieberman should be thrown in Constitutional prisons until they re-educate themselves about the nation they are supposed to represent.
If only....but the Congress is the best Corporate Money Can Buy [with a handful of exceptions]; the Supreme Court has been 'packed' with right-wing pro-Corporate hacks; the MSM is Corporate owned and 'run'; and the Presidency is just a PR job.....I'm afraid short of a long and ugly Public Shut-Down of the the whole Society [sustained walk-outs/strikes/demonstrations/no buy plans/boycotts/monkeywrenching/and more] they will only use the UnPatriot Act to further 'justify' new and more repressive measures until we are at the maximum police state....we are well, well on our way there and as I've warned for years, the Internet was going to be a major target and now they have found their [or created or manipulated] target of opportunity. They will use it and we could 'loose it'. We have really come to the last fork in the road, IMO.
