We have the benefit of hindsight in the case of Germany. The collective
noses are too close to the Patriot Act to see clearly what it
encompasses. In twenty years we'll have a better view of what it did.
That's if history is still permitted to be read.


Basically the Patriot Act provides for the same Law Enforcement
Tools for the War Against Terrorism as the USofA has used for
years in the War Against Drugs.

Well...now I'm reassured. The war on drugs has been a HUGE success.
Someone once wondered how it was possible to smuggle small nuclear
devices into the country. A wit replied that all the bad guys had to do
was hide them in cocaine shipments. There's a lot of food for thought
there.
