Doesn't it occur to anyone (like R. Paul), that lots of the provisions in this bill are identical to the ones in the terrorist bill that would allow the FBI and CIA powers equal to local police forces?

Most of the people applauding on this thread are the same ones who go apoplectic over the "extra-constituionality" of the terrorism bill, so using their lame hysterics, what would stop another corrupt, Clinton-like administration from turning these Pirate Busters on American gun-owners or bong users or cyber-kiddie porn fans? What stops them from seizing your stuff when their sojourn in the dust & flea capital of the world ends? Courtesy of gun-grabbing President, John Edwards.

If it's all the same to Mr. Paul, I prefer the knowledge that the 10th Mountain Division is paying a silent visit to the Talibaniacs. But I guess a bunch of free-lance, glory boys stumbling around millions of acres of Afghan rock piles and mine fields could serve as pretty cool decoys, so...bring 'em on! It would be fun to see who signed up.

You never know. Those "glory boys" could be greedy bearded members of the Taliban who want out. Me thinks the lady doth protest too much.

Really? Which ones? And you are aware that the actions of private individuals are in a wholly different category than the government employee are you not?
