Prepare a short (approximately five page) paper reviewing and critically evaluating the information regarding the Patriot Act. You should summarize what you have read and take a position (pro or con). You should defend your position logically and by reference to material from Cohen & Wells and any other source material you deem appropriate.

You should describe the opposing argument in a rational, non-polemical way and explain why you think it is not as strong as your position.
