Al Gore gave a speech yesterday. According to my friend Arion, he could only get it on C-Span, so it mustn't have been broadcast too widely. The following link will take you to a couple of other links of the video of parts of his speech and an update after the administration replied to the speech and Gore's retaliation to that.

I think he made some very valid points. The Patriot Act is a crock. The counters to the speech sound like they're trying to throw the blame into the past.
