Citing a provision of the Patriot Act, the FBI is sending letters to journalists telling them to secretly prepare to turn over their notes, e-mails and sources to the bureau. Should we throw out the First Amendment to nail a hacker?

You must also remember, those who ask the qustion are suspicious and will be esclated in priority on the FBI list as those who support terrorism.
I'm curious though, Ashcroft's doctrine seems to profile what a terrorist will look like, although authorities deny this, seems they have painted a vivid image of a Middle Eastern man waiting in line at the airport. I mean I'm sure that everytime we have to wait in the lobby of some airport and happen to see what might be a person of Middle Eastern culture he's automatically suspect in our minds.
To tell you the truth every time I see a skinny blonde white boy I think they're part of some neo-nazi cult.
Personally, Ashcroft is making excuses. If his edict was to be fair he'd start by ridding us of our own home treat of these groups. They serve no different purpose than Al Quida. But that's not what the profile intended.
Our belief in the political process is based on one simple idea, 'TRUST'. The people didn't trust Clinton because of an indiscrition in the White House with an overzealous intern. So the public leaned towards the other extreme (like the public of a 1930's Germany) and voted for the smoke and mirrors platform of Christian morals.
We don't dare question, but we want to.
