I found the article There’s a Secret Patriot Act, Senator Says on wired.com.

“We’re getting to a gap between what the public thinks the law says and what the American government secretly thinks the law says,” Wyden tells Danger Room in an interview in his Senate office. “When you’ve got that kind of a gap, you’re going to have a problem on your hands.”

What Senator Ron Wyden is saying is that there is a law of the land that you are obligated to follow, but you cannot be told what it is.  It makes me wonder who is actually running this government. I am very unhappy to hear that this sort of thing continues under the Obama administration.  I was very naive to believe that getting rid of George W. Bush would put an end to this.
