"The Patriot Act allegedly improves our chances fer discovering ne'er-do-wells and keepin' from hurtin' more folks; however, as the War on Terrorism is inevitably won, I believe we will see major"

Mud, my FRiend, all that had to be done was add two words to existing law, to wit; Domestic Terrorism. As I've said before, NO law has ever prevented any crime! Laws are meant for punishment, not prevention and America bought into the lie that the p.a.t.r.i.o.t. act is preventitive. As for catching the perps, I, for one, do not wish to trade my freedom and liberty, nor, the freedom and liberty of 200,000,000+ of my fellow law abiding Americans just to catch, what, 6,000 criminals?

What was and is needed is to get rid of the incompetants in the fbi along with the clinton operatives whom Bush has chosen not to replace. Enforcement of existing laws is the answer not new laws as every new law takes away another freedom and only gives more power to the police which, in the final analysis, will turn into a police state.

I repeat one stanza of In The Name Of Security:

Let's not forget history,
of what happened in Germany,
the people went along,
even gathered in public throngs,
enbracing all the wrongs

Gotta leave for work

"What was and is needed is to get rid of the incompetants in the fbi along with the clinton operatives whom Bush has chosen not to replace. "

'Tis my understanding that this process is already underway, as well as the process of collecting the evidence fer making the cases against folks even higher up the food chain.
