"...the U.S.A. Patriot Act, the law empowers the government to shift the primary mission of the FBI from solving crimes to gathering domestic intelligence. In addition, the Treasury Department has been charged with building a financial intelligence-gathering system whose data can be accessed by the CIA"

The PATRIOT ACT???
Talk about adding insult to injury...
The name alone is a slap in the face.
Although it looks as though a lot of people, who should know better, are falling for it.

The PATRIOT ACT???

It does remind me of George Orwell's
Ministry of Truth (The propaganda department)
in the book 1984.
