The San Francisco Bay Guardian's lead editorial that hit the streets today calls on San Francisco legislators Nancy Pelosi and Dianne Feinstein to lead the charge to repeal The Patriot Act.
The timing could not be better.
Feinstein is at the center of the latest national security controversy, criticizing the CIA for spying on her Senate Intelligence Committee staffers as they researched legislation to expose and rein in the CIA's interrogation and torture policies. Apparently, Feinstein doesn't like being subjected to the same kind of blanket NSA surveillance that she's been defending, so perhaps this is a welcome lesson for her.
