Patriot Act Has Other Applications

British authorities broke up an international pedophile ring yesterday, arresting 200 suspects and rescuing 10 children. From a website titled "Kids the Light of Our Lives", the perverts, no doubt Andy Dick enthusiasts, streamed live video of children being sexually abused. Here is what I knew would be included in the article when I clicked on it:

"Authorities said they used surveillance tactics normally used against terrorism suspects and drug traffickers to infiltrate the pedophile ring at its highest level."

This proves an interesting point in regards to the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001: it is not important exclusively in the fight against terrorism.

Of the 38 cases reported by the government as using provisions of the act, 18 are completely unrelated to terrorism. The Patriot Act gives law enforcement the ability to keep up with drug and human trafickers who use technology in the execution of their international crimes.

The Department of Justice appointed an independent inspector-general, James Sensenbrenner, to look into possible abuses of the Patriot Act. He found zero reportable abuses. Zero.

USA PATRIOT Act - 38, ACLU - 0.


*Andy Dick could not be reached for comment. Thank God.

Can the Patriot Act help BC win more football games?

The new classification decisions should be coming out any day now. I've been meaning to start a Back to AAAAA campaign on here but have been too lazy.

yes, stephen, the Patriot Act can do that. I'm sure if you go to the DOJ website they'll have statistics to show you how the act can help your favorite high school football team.
