I have visited stallman.org the fist time after 911. I wonder if he was (or felt) forced to put this graphic on his site: "America Means Civil Liberties - Patriotism Is Protecting Them" "Other Americans, you may wish to copy this icon to your own page, as a way of showing what patriotism means to you. "
This doesn't sound as rms. And facing the development in the USA and the whole "civilized" world with the SSSCA and the Hague Treaty the words on his banner don't make sense.

He is hitting back on the 'post 11/9' view that patriotism is giving up civil liberties in order to protect ourselves.
