How could something be absolutely limited to terrorism?
As I understand it, the Patriot Act is best described as an expansion of the RICO laws to include terror organizations, in addition to the organized crime outfits that RICO was limited to.
Seems like a reasonable direction to me.
As I understand it the trickster's slipped in a comment about "money laundering" and almost anything involving transfer of money could be merely accused of being "laundering" - and guess who gets to decide?
They lied.
