Much of this is shamelessly cribbed from Phil Agre's Red Rock Eater - 
rre at lists.gseis.ucla.edu .  Other good sources are
http://www.buzzflash.com 
and http://www.bushwatch.com

Take special note of reaction and jingoism from the right - The Coulter
and 
Falwell articles, and responses.  On a more positive note, the
commentaries 
from Zinn, Corn, Williams, and the Dali Lama

Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., argued that the
expansion 
was too broad and could easily be abused."If we give up all our
freedoms, 
if we turn our back on 200 years or more of Constitutional history, of
the 
things that make us strong as a nation, some would argue that the 
terrorists win"
