If you were wondering what they were hiding when they "captured" Hussein..
I was offline for a while over the holidays so I don't know if this has already been posted and discussed. Anyway, here it is:
http://truthout.org/docs_03/122903A.shtml

Unbe-freaking-lievable. They've dismantled Patriot Act II and hidden the parts in a bunch of other bills and are passing them and signing them on the hush-hush. I've gotta agree with the last part of this article:
"If these new executive powers are necessary to protect United States citizens, then why would the legislation not withstand the test of public debate? If the new act's provisions are in the public interest, why use stealth in ramming them through the legislative process?"

It's nice to see someone in the press asking these questions and I think it behooves all of us to ask them of our representatives before they vote on any more of this nonsense.

I'm kicking this because I refuse to believe no one around here cares about it.
