Subject: RE: BS: War on Terrorism is a Cover for Taxation
Mmario; You are absolutely right. The scary thing about this "anti terrorism" legislation is that our esteemed attorney general gets to decide who is a terrorist. Some of the provisions of Patriot II (Or as I unaffectionatley call it, John Ashcroft's secret police bill) include monitoring what you check out at the library or buy at the book store, the right to detain peopple suspected of terrorism or supporting a terrorist organization for an indefinatel period of time without recourse to the courst or the constitutional right to a speedy trial.
   We are the terrorists they are guarding against. Our attorney general has already called those of us who don't support this legislation unpatriotic and implied we are traitors. HEy John, how about you visit my houise and say that in front of witnesses so this veteran can sue your non serving in the military A*@ for slander etc! Sorry about the rant. Liberty for all, Neil
