What specificly in the "Patriot Act" concerns you so much that you liken it to Bazi Germany and the Soviet Union? Concentration camps? Gulags? Ah, those horrific library card checks. Got it. Yup, I'd rather have my entire family dismembered and blown to bits than offend the library folks.

I described (roughly) a methodology that adapts to disguises, or whatever. It works. It offends the easily offended. What doesn't these days? The Israelis profile on BEHAVIOUR 1st. Guess what. NOBODY has succeeded in blowing up one of their aricraft. And they're quite successful spoting and stoping a large # of suicide bombers. Miss some, but stop many. Last time I looked, there are no concentration camps or gulags in Israel. What they just did was seal their borders against yahoos intent in blowing them to bits. Is there a possible hint there for the clueless Bush admin?
