The war on terror continues and the US Patriot Act is once again up for renewal. Will anything change now that Osama Bin Laden is dead?

    • Revoke it! Destroy it! Did you know that in Egypt they had a "State of emergency" since Sadat was murdered in the late 1970's? It always happens that "temporary emergency laws" last for years after the original incident. Restore the Constitution NOW!!!!! And tell the cowards that are still afraid of the BIG BAD WOLF to grow up. The "Patriot Act" was Bin Laden's biggest victory.Even FALSE ARRESTS have been made. GROW UP!!!!
