Your government overreach outrage for the morning:

• Jim Sensenbrenner: This abuse of the Patriot Act must end. In which one of the authors of the "PATRIOT" act is shocked, shocked, to discover that there is gambling at this establishment.
• Politico's Philip Ewing: NSA memo pushed to 'rethink' 4th Amendment
• John Gilmore on the liberationtech mailing list: Why didn't tech company leaders blow the whistle?. Discusses Qwest's CEO saying "no", now serving a six year prison sentence.
• Washington Post: Has the US become the kind of nation from which you have to seek asylum? Great look at, among other things, how our misapplication of plea bargaining has gone awry.
