Please tell me you aren't really equating the Patriot Act with blowing up children on a bus...

Actually, I see the patriot act as far more Totalitarian than blowing up people on a bus.
From m-w.com:
totalitarian: 1 a : of or relating to centralized control by an autocratic leader or hierarchy
Blowing up people on a bus is terrorism. The Patriot act is totalitarian, it's all about removing civil rights and monitoring citizens. That's why I find sad humor in Bush's statements. While I don't support the terrorism of the Palestinians, I don't believe their goals are totalitarian, they want to have a homeland. Ashcroft, on the other hand, I believe has serious totalitarian goals.

Since they have no access to lawyers or family, and their names, in many cases, have not been disclosed, you have no way of knowing that. They could have your Saudi grandmother in there and the only thing you would know is that she was missing from her home.
