<i>“I want to deliver a warning this afternoon: When the American people find out how their government has secretly interpreted the Patriot Act, they will be stunned and they will be angry,” Mr. Wyden said.</i><p><i>Another member of the Intelligence Committee, Senator Mark Udall, Democrat of Colorado, backed Mr. Wyden’s account, saying, “Americans would be alarmed if they knew how this law is being carried out.”</i><p>That's two <i>senators</i> who are on the select committee, so they really know the nuts and bolts of whats going on, basically shouting from the roof tops. And they're even the same party as the executive branch that's using it. And they aren't even allowed to tell us what the problem is.<p>Something seriously bad is going on.
