First of all, this should probably be in documentaries because it's not a real movie. Secondly the woman narrating is increadibly un-American.
There's a million evil muslims out there that want to hurt the people in this country because they think Allah told them to. And if the patriot act prevents them from killing my family and neighbors, then I am all for it.
I got like 15 mins in to it and turned it off. It's really a bunch of BS.
Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

(FYI: I haven't seen this doc yet, but I have head speeches by the author. She is very intelligent. The only thing is that we are moving away from the Bush years so those who are just now learning about her stuff do not appreciate her. Check out her speeches on youtube. Very interesting.)
Edit: Chikkah, a question for you to ponder..."When we loose a freedom due to fear of a threat do we get that freedom back when the threat has passed?"
Naomi Wolf, author of 'The End Of America' suggests that we don't. Once we loose a freedom, we never get it back. That's why it's so important for people to wake up out of the stupid mind-control that most people operate under. It's not un-American to criticize corruption. Likewise endorsing the losss of our freedoms is not patriotic.
Watch the following video. It's called, 'The Shock Doctrine'.
People in power exploit tragedy and public fear in order to pass controversial laws, such as the Patriot act, laws that would have never passed had the tragedy not happened.
