To the Editor:

   Through David Brooks' looking-glass, giving powers of life and death to big corporations and taking it from public servants would be a move towards empowering the people.  Those who can get their heads around that will have no trouble swallowing the argument that the PATRIOT act safeguards Americans' freedom from unreasonable search. As George Orwell might have put it, the logic is double plus ungood.
