Checking in on the ol' hometown paper, I turn to the opinion section to see if there are any choice letters to the editor. Am I disappointed?
I am not.
To the Editor:
The director of the FBI said there was an abuse of national security letters. I'd rather have abuse of these letters and keep the country safe, rather than have a terrorist slip under the radar.
I'm not advocating surrendering our civil liberties, but I won't be upset if the FBI goes a little overboard, even if they check on me.

Ronnie's not advocating surrendering our civil liberties. He's just advocating allowing the FBI to ignore them! C'mon people! Like Patrick Henry was so fond of saying, "Give me liberty, unless of course I might get hurt, in which case give me an autocratic police state!"
