...is that Attorney Generallisimo Ashcroft - and to a lesser extent, the Bush White House - is coming under fire for scrambling to extend the government's legal powers under the guise of "anti-terrorism" - we're starting to see some prominient blowback from the Hill and other sectors on this area.

I do believe if you break the law, you should be penalized. But scrambling to lump anything having to do with "hacking" under the guise of "anti-terrorism" is sheer lunacy.

Remember that the Hill, for the most part, did not get to read and debate the PATRIOT ACT before it went to vote, and several well-known Senators are now asking "what the hell did we vote for?"
