First:
I wasn't trying to build an analogy with the story. Just demonstrating that many of the criticised powers of the Patriot Act do not get that much use. In this case, it's only been once for obtaining library records, and just recently (this month).

Second:
Citing that the use of Section 215 of the Patriot Act was a misuse of power in this case to request library records from a library in Connecticut is a little premature, considering that the ACLU and the media are not able to cite the "who, what, where, when, or whys" of the investigation at this point in time.
