actually the "..." meant I was being facetious; the scary part is that some of the Patriot Act observations you made are not that far from reality. Title-3 is now, really, just a formality.

KK, BTW I saw Hutchinson on televison this week too. If perjury is not a "real" crime then why are they "still" crucifying Clinton for it? Eric Alterman (author of "When Presidents Lie") has referred to the current adminstation as the "post-truth presidency" and this really seems to sum it up for the entire group Bush, Rove, Cheney, Libby, Rice, etc, etc..
