Sen. Feingold (the lone Senator who justly opposed the PATRIOT ACT and the War on Iraq) is right on the mark in this, as he was interviewed recently by Bill Moyers (link in clip).

failing to act swiftly to reverse the damage could essentially legitimize that conduct and the extreme legal theories on which it was based.
