Dang it

I am very dismayed that Richard Stengel and Time magazine have chosen this week to lose all journalistic credibility, because I was planning to use a Stengel article as a reference in my exams on Saturday. Dang it.

Incidentally, the article in question, written by Joe Klein, claims that House Democrats have sponsored a bill that "would give terrorists the same legal protections as Americans". While everyone is an uproar because Democrats claim no such thing, I'm left pondering why the legal protections he is referring to (freedom from surveillance without a court order) are not something that I thought I had anyway.
