Gonzales Admits Patriot Act Used in Mayfield Case
But we would NEVER use the Patriot Act to spy on CITIZENS! Only those awful TERRORISTS. Never EVER. Yeah, ok...right.
Gonzales Admits Patriot Act Used in Mayfield Case: "Attorney General Alberto Gonzales acknowledged at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday that provisions of the controversial Patriot Act were used to investigate Oregon lawyer Brandon Mayfield, a Muslim convert whom the FBI admitted it wrongly arrested in connection with the Madrid train bombings. Mayfield has contended the government used the Patriot Act to search his home and gather personal information to portray him as a Muslim militant."
