FBI demands library records / Request in Connecticut, allowed by Patriot Act, is first of its kind: The demand is the first confirmed instance in which the FBI has used the law in this way, federal officials and the ACLU said. The government's power to demand access to library borrowing records and other material showing reading habits has been the single most divisive issue in the debate over whether Congress should extend key elements of the Patriot Act after this year.

Too bad there is no "United States" offering to step in and help defend our Democratic rights!
