Sunset

Sunset in Bement, a train going by in the background, and #9 on deck is my #5 daughter AlyssaThe best thing we did with the Patriot Act was to sunset it. Almost 800 foreign nationals, immigrants, mostly Arab-Americans or people who looked like Arab-Americans, were arrested, put in jail, held without charges, no notification for their families and no right to counsel. That's un-American and I'll fight to end that. If we fight the terrorists who attacked us because of our liberties by compromising our liberties, shame on us.

-- Senator Joe Lieberman I-CT (1942-), American politician, CNN "Rock the Vote", Nov 5, 2003
