In Barbara Comstock’s piece on the Patriot Act today, the sentence that reads “Section 215 of the Patriot Act does make it “‘a crime for anyone who has been served with a subpoena to speak to anyone about the matter.’” is missing a word–it’s absence completely changes the sentence’s meaning. It should say “Section 215 of the Patriot Act does NOT make it ‘a crime for anyone who has been served with a subpoena to speak to anyone about the matter.’” I am tempted to blame Microsoft for inventing “track changes” and “comments” and such, but instead I’ll be honest: I take full responsibility for that mistake and apologize to readers and to the Department of Justice. The piece, as it came from the DOJ, had it right. It will be fixed as soon as possible, but until then, take note.
