Regarding Randy Ludacer's comments in the Nov. 19 Highlands Today: Far left liberals enjoy flaunting their hatred for Bush with their attacks on every possible front, but that seems to be their way. I disagree with much that the administration has brought on but it is ludicrously deceptive to attack the secrecy issue with such zest as the left does. It is reflective of their defeatism for this or any other war. The fallacy of these attacks is the fact that there have been zero cases of any form of intimidation of our citizens for the seven years we've had the Patriot Act. I do challenge you to present one.
