A capacity crowd of 250 citizens jammed Hood River's Riverside Community Church on Saturday to hear a former local resident, a former president of the Oregon ACLU and Oregon's U.S. Attorney present different perspectives on issues raised by the recently-passed USA Patriot Act and President George W. Bush's plan to conduct military trials for suspected terrorists.

Doors open at 12:30 p.m. for Feb. 16 event.
