aclu.org — Section 802 of the USA PATRIOT expanded the definition of terrorism to cover "domestic," as opposed to international, terrorism. The definition of domestic terrorism is broad enough to encompass anyone as a terrorist.

Swimming pools, peanuts and deer kill more Americans every single year than terrorists have since the 1960's.<a class="user" href="http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/january2007/050107peanutskill.htm">http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/january2007/050107peanutskill.htm</a>

Uh... yeah. You have to actually read the words.All of the other parts must be true in order to be categorized as a terrorist. But, if you cherry-pick it like you did, it does make your argument sound better!

Well, now that everyone in the United States is a potential terrorist by govt definition, does this mean I can or will have to forfeit my birth certificate that states that I was born in the contiguous United States and apply for a green card that will entitle me and mine to some sweet govt freebies and poss. section 8 housing at $13.50 a month sans utilities and mortgage payments? Can I still be a Methodist or will I have to bite the bullet and kiss the Mullah's ring and become a born again Muslim with dreams of jihad and martyrdom (At my age I couldn't handle 72 virgins. Then again, if I was younger, I still couldn't handle 72 virgins. By the way, I've often wondered; what does a female jihadist get? )? Who would I pay my taxes to? The IRS, Farrakhan and the Nation Of Islam, the FBI, Haliburton ;the The possibilities are endless. Yes, by def., Bush is now or soon will be a potential terrorist. What an irony of fate and legal wording.

"I will have a problem with it if it's abused, but that's not the fault of the law unless the law is too ambiguous. That being said, ambiguity works in two directions..."So in the news today about the audit of FBI found that they grossly abused the Patriot Act is no big deal to you unless they come and throw you in a cell? I wonder if anybody in the FBI will end up in jail because they broke the law. No. Did you notice "Broke the Law"? If a citizen of this country does something wrong, they can lock them up and throw away the key. They broke the law. But if the Government is in violation of law, they call it "abuse of the law or power" and they don't get in any real trouble.

Sorry previous one timed out. My brother in law works for a large telecommunication company and they had to install a $250,000 computer that enables the FBI to wiretap into Internet traffic in real time so they can record traffic in real time. All the companies had to do this. The program goes into effect in May. The data will put into a database that will be used to profile everybody. Once they have recorded everybody, they will have enough data to arrest anybody on stuff they gave done on the Internet.

The phrase ?Versch?rfte Vernehmung? is German for ?enhanced interrogation?. It?s a phrase that appears to describe a form of torture that would leave no marks, and hence save the embarrassment pre-war Nazi officials were experiencing as their wounded torture victims ended up in court. The methods are indistinguishable from those described as ?enhanced interrogation techniques? by the president. As you can see from the Gestapo memo (click on picture at the top of this post), moreover, the Nazis were adamant that their ?enhanced interrogation techniques? would be carefully restricted and controlled, monitored by an elite professional staff, of the kind recommended by Charles Krauthammer, and strictly reserved for certain categories of prisoner. At least, that was the original plan.
