CNN.com - Town criminalizes compliance with Patriot Act - May. 18, 2003
"ARCATA, California (AP) -- More than 100 cities and one state have passed resolutions condemning the USA Patriot Act, saying it gives the federal government too much snooping power. But in this liberal fold of Northern California's Redwood Curtain, a simple denouncement just doesn't go far enough.
"To cooperate with the act, the City Council says, is criminal."
This is heartening news to non-Americans who have been puzzled by recent developments in the USA. Maybe they haven't completely lost the plot.
