'twould be interesting, indeed, if he were to be charged for inciting terrorism under some clause of the Patriot Act. That would most likely only show how toothless such a clause would probably be in the prosecution of it.

First, under our Patriot act it would be argued that the incitement wasn't against us.

Second, it would probably have to be shown, without reasonable doubt, that anyone was actually incited.

Third, the ACLU would, no doubt, grit their teeth and defend the bastard, knowing full well that the free speech that they wish for themselves cannot reasonably be denied another.

It is interesting that it was just last week that someone here posited the idea that assassination and subtrafuge should be the way of dealing with future terrorism. The concept is catching on. Who knew who all reads mudcat?
