Please someone explain to me when the US became a haven for witch hunters.

I have read some of
The Dark Side by Jayne Mayer. It has led me to the following conclusion. The DMCA got signed because George W. Bush was a spineless jellyfish and listened to the bad advice of the people he surrounded himself with. And Dick Chaney was already quite paranoid before 9/11 and 9/11 just put him over the top. So between the people Bush had around him and Chaney, the USA had no chance.
If I ever was to get a chance to talk to Obama, I would ask him about repealing the DMCA.
