    Danger! Danger! USAPATRIOT Act to be extended

    The provisions of the USAPATRIOT Act have sunset provisions and are set to go away in 2005. Congress is now talking about removing the sunset provisions and make it permanent.

        Orrin Hatch is pushing it from the Senate side, that uptight little dickweed. However, considering the regrets that congressmen expressed after the bill passed, I think this will have a hard time becoming permament.

          One Senator voted against it, and less than fifty Congressman did so. Do NOT be complacent! We need to organize to defeat this terribly unAmerican peice of legislation.

              What kills me is that Americans would actually name this "PATRIOT Act". I mean, naming any kind of act "PATRIOT Act" is silly enough.

              I bet that in 2010 at latest, "FUZZY BUNNIES AND ABRAHAM LINCOLN" act sends anybody any government official anywhere doesn't like to slave labor camps and allows the President to feast on the tender meat of the freshborn baby.

                It's not any sillier than "Operation Iraqi Freedom." I don't know when we Yanks starting taking ourselves so seriously, but I don't like it. We should take a page or two from the Brits and come up with some good operation codenames. I loved the whole 007 theme...

                  I think Operation Iraqi Liberation would have been better. I bet it would have got acronymized pretty fast, though.

                  In same vein, "Operation Arabic Freedom" would have been fine...

                    I heard a rumor that Operation Iraqi Freedom started out with a different name that was too inflammatory, so they changed it. (Like Infinite Justice -> Enduring Freedom.) Anyone else hear anything about this?

                    I like it better when they have the computer pick the name, and you get stuff like "Operation Azure Badger."

                      I miss the good old days of "Operation: Overlord" and "Operation: Anvil".
                      The Germans had some good ones too, "Operation: Citadel", "Operation:Weserubung" (pronounced Vey-se-rue-boong) and so on.

                            The advantage to haveing a never ending war on terrorism is that the crisis never passes, and so the measures stay
