Dude, it's a TV show. Its designed to be controversial to get your attention, that doesn't mean it reflects reality. Frankly that is the biggest problem with most other countries, and I've worked in Europe from 1999 to 2001, they get ALL their information from American TV; sitcoms, talk shows, etc. They know very little about real day to day life in the US and their steriotypes are frankly jaw dropingly bizzare. Americans as well don't get a great deal of insight into the day to day lives in other countries.
Yah, if Paltrow wants to leave then she should leave. However, she feels she needs to remain in the PR spotlight so she uses this as an opportunity to get attention, keep her name in the press. We all have the right to free speech (here in the US), but when you are in the public eye you have a certain ethical responsibility. Maybe she really truly believes what she said (and I am so *sure* she's read the Patriot Act and can tell you how it directly affects her freedoms), my gut tells me that she just wants to keep her name in the papers.
