LOL! Yet another example which bolsters my contention that this isn't 
about human rights in Iraq, rather the desire of the American right wing 
to get rid of "the Left."

"The USA PATRIOT Act (a.k.a. Uniting and Strengthening America by 
Providing the Appropriate Tools Required to Infiltrate and Obstruct 
Terrorism)

was originally named "Unarming and Stripping Americans of Freedom and 
Allowing Secret Cops to Intimidate Scapegoats and Minorities",

but they thought USA FASCISM didn't sound all that great."
