awesome - DOJ rebutting "myths" about the patriot act!
http://www.lifeandliberty.gov/subs/u_myths.htm

my favorite is the rebuttal to the aclu fear that people library/reading habits can be searched by the DOJ. they respond by saying something to the effect of: "investigators aren't interested in normal americans' reading habits"...

lol

2. Well, that's a relief, isn't it?
It's good to know that the DOJ is focussed on cracking down on the abnormal Americans. I worry about those abnormal people, you know.

5. They are not interested in Americans who don't question/voice any
objection or dissent over any of their destructive policies, actions, or little wars, but just keep their mouths shut and their minds closed.

6. they already broke the rule
so though they may say it is a myth...........i dont trust them and let me tell you why, grinnin

a couple months ago a black heavy set lower income mom (and i use description cause they start in areas they can get away with) got on a bus and pointed finger in a bus drivers face and using the f word throughout her tirade telling the bus driver not to touch her child. if she had a problem with her child to talk to her, she was at the bus stop every day. offensive the lady may have been and threatening.

the woman was arrested and initially charged with a terrorist act. the only reason would be the f word throughout her tirade, or the pointing finger in the face. take away those to things and the woman was saying talk to me dont touch my child.

never did i hear if they investigated the bus driver to see if she had touched the child

and a couple weeks later they dropped the terrorist charge.

but it shows, that they are willing to use it.
