    "As a "Federal terrorism offense," the five year statute of limitations for hacking would be abolished retroactively -- allowing computer crimes committed decades ago to be prosecuted today -- and the maximum prison term for a single conviction would be upped to life imprisonment. There is no parole in the federal justice system. "

    only one thing to say about that
    Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
    The international ban against torturing prisoners of war does not necessarily apply to suspects detained in America\'s war on terror, Attorney General John Ashcroft told a Senate oversight committee

    Forgive me... but I only see one place that talks about it having been signed. CNN, MSN, BBC, wired... none of the other major news organizations that I know and trust mention anything about a conspiracy of the Patriot Act II already being signed. There is plenty about it being discussed, modified, added, and so forth. Do a google for Patriot Act II and you will see that PBC and such still have documents on it being discussed and fine tuned, not implemented.

    edit: I ran a double check, and can't find any more evidence save for one or two underground sites that I wouldn't trust with my life. I searched slashdot, MSNBC, NBC, CNN, BBC, wired, PBC, and various government sites. All pointed to the discussions taking place at that time period so they could fine tune it, but mentioned that the signing and release is a long ways off. *No I'm not leaning towards mainstream media and news reports, but at least ONE of those places would have mentioned it (especially slashdot)

    In the netherlands they are now making a law that would make all left-winged-animal-liberation-types terrorists, to be taken to jail without any proof..

    Since this is on the front page and people are reading it, I feel I must comment. I have no problem with people speaking out against the Columbian Bush Cartel. His crime syndicate has been in power for decades and the free world trembles with fear. He has isolated the United States and formed secret aliances to establish his own country on the moon and make himself king and rage war on the planets. But if you are going to challenge the Cartel of Demigods and his crime family of Enron executives, Haliburton illegal contracts, falsified intelligence, theocracy inducing, and Hussein pandering American idiots, then at least post something worthy. Not continued BS based on someones own wagging of the tail and sensationalized to trump up the left. I wondered why a FISCAL act, one that usually grants monetary (meaning FISCAL) appropraiations in congress could have produced PATRIOT ACT II, drum roll and emotionalism included. I was wondering how they slid advanced new powers past congress when many are very interested in limiting PATRIOT ACT I, this was very interesting to me so I looked a little. It's all certified BS. Here is another discussion on the topic. http://www.antionline.com/showthread...hreadid=253216

    Stopping it can be done, but you'd have to get the majority of Americans involved, and that's where the problem lies. It's done by making an issue of it and using the ballot box for starters. Most Americans today are too lazy, or too disinterested, or too brainwashed to realize what's happened. Or, they don't care. Surrendering a few liberties means nothing to them.

    Or they think, "I am not a criminal, so why should I worry about the police /authorities coming into my home. I have nothing to hide." Sooner than later our rights will be gone.

    Did read your post man. My concern is mostly due to the government in general never wanting to protect our rights.... Anyways, this discussion might be better to have in cosmos...

    The discussion would probably be better in Cosmos, but it's out here now for all to see. Some members don't visit the forum area.

    My post was in reference to stopping it before it's released, and it can be done regardless of opinion, but it would take a massive effort of millions of Americans who still value their liberties. Do none of them remember Benjamin Franklin's words, to the effect that "Those who will surrender the least of their essential liberties for the promise of more security deserve neither liberty nor security." That isn't exact, but it's close.
