What the f*ck? Cuban patriots who fought to overthrow a Communist tyranny are labeled "terrorists." The Patriot Act would have treated the American revolutionaries as terrorists for defying the Crown.

The Patriot Act defines terrorism as ''any activity which is unlawful under the laws of the place where it is committed.'' .......

By that definition,reading the Bible in public in Iran is an act of terrorism.

Meanwhile, Illegal mexicans flood accross our borders with hardly a peep of resistance from the government.

Its a crazy mixed up - f*&ked up world.

This ambiguity is exactly why I don't like the Patriot Act. Can you imagine Janet Reno with this?

I wish they would use the P.A. to only go after the original intended offenders, like strip club owners...

The Escambray guerrillas and many other anti-Castro movements were supported by the CIA in the early 1960s with food, weapons and even explosives meant for sabotage

The Bush administration cannot distinguish between freedom fighters and terrorists.

Ronald Reagan must be rolling in his grave. Now all the anti-communist rebels are considered terrorists by the Bush officials.

c'mon people...fix the Patriot Act so that it allows our friends to come here.

And Cuban freedom fighters are our friends..more than anyone.

Send letters to your congresscritters.
