Coding While Muslim

6/16/2004

That's what became more and more chilling as I learned more about this case. He simply did not do anything with his information technology skills that I don't routinely do. Or that you don't routinely do as part of your job for thousands of students, faculty, and staff - any one of whom might decide to use those resources for bad purposes.

It's not coincidental that the jury kicked out the charges against al-Hussayen. Even though Idaho is one of the "reddest" of the red states, people clear across the political spectrum are more and more critical of many parts of the Patriot Act, including the clause at issue here. And, in fact, even as the Department of Justice was bringing this case to trial, an appeals court in California had already declared that part of the Patriot Act to be unconstitutional, although that ruling has no standing in the State of Idaho.

The best news, though, is that more and more people - of all kinds - think it's time to re-examine and refine the Patriot Act in light of what we've learned by seeing it in action. And I think that's a very good thing.
