Like, totally, gag me with the Patriot Act!

Words fail me. (insert obligatory, overused phrase about the terrorists having already won, here).
My National Security Letter Gag Order - washingtonpost.com:
The letter came with a gag provision that prohibited me from telling anyone, including my client, that the FBI was seeking this information. Based on the context of the demand — a context that the FBI still won’t let me discuss publicly — I suspected that the FBI was abusing its power and that the letter sought information to which the FBI was not entitled.
I resent being conscripted as a secret informer for the government and being made to mislead those who are close to me, especially because I have doubts about the legitimacy of the underlying investigation.
