Patriot Act tour carried a hefty price tag

He may not have trashed any hotel rooms, but U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft spent over $200,000 of taxpayer money in a four-week, 31-city tour last year promoting the controversial USA PATRIOT Act, according to a report by Congressional auditors released Tuesday.

So that is why we are sending some of our special prisoners to other countries [where they can be tortured]. That makes us all better doesn't it?

If there is nothing to hide - then an Internet 'license' does not bother me in the slightest.

The Internet has changed. The world has changed. Things are different. I don't need history lessons, I need better access and less hassle [spam, phishing, too many patches from shoddy software engineering, etc.].

I don't think anyone is advocating a 'blank check' to the government. I think the issue is to make it all right. Make it work and make it safe.
