Very funny in sad kind of way.
From the Future of Freedom Foundation email update:
“On Tuesday, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales urged lawmakers to make permanent all 15 expiring provisions of the Patriot Act. Gonzalez claims that the government has never used the Patriot Act's power of secret warrants to obtain library, bookstore, medical, or gun store records. So if you're a terrorist bookworm with colon polyps who loves AK-47's, this is your day.”
— Dennis Miller MSNBC host
Very funny indeed, eh? However, that is largely horseshit. Most all of the Patriot Act (I hate that name by the way), have been used by the feds for non-terrorism or espionage related investigations and uses. The secret court proceedings needed to do all of these black ops things legally have been rubber stamped and the “person of interest” the feds are victimizing has no official recourse, because they are never notified!
Another day in the land of the freak and home of the slave my friends.
