Correct me if I'm wrong, but when you sign up for Facebook, don't you have to submit an email address AND the password to that email address so that Facebook can automatically contact all of your friends? Shouldn't that raise some flags?

But action has only been taken by Canada, one of the few free countries left in the world.

At least we don't arrest people without charging them with something. At least we don't torture people for 4 years and then let them go and say "Sorry, dude. We're at war with sand farmers so you got caught in the net"...Seriously, when I hear Americans bitch about Canadian law I laugh at their ignorance and failure to recognize that Bush has made them one of the least free countries in the world.

I was under the impression it was America searching people's files when they come in FROM Canada. That was the case with every instance I've heard of so far anyway.

Oh, thanks for that. It's so nice to be corrected without someone calling you a dumbass. You'll probably never read this reply though, considering how late it is.
