Apparently the lot of you couldn't find your own way to an on-line news website to save your lives.

Anti-terrorism legislation passed the House yesterday, and will pass the Senate today with (likely) less than 5 hours scheduled for debate, and will be on Bush's desk by next week.

Other "new" facets of the government's claim to have a right to spy on it's own citizenry, without judicial oversight I might add, includes the right to secretly search your home, and to tap your email account, and follow your web searches.

Can someone tell me when the US Congress passed an Act of War please?

No? I thought not.
