I was watching CNN thinking this is going to be a great day
when all of the sudden the President is on Television talking
about the 9/11 commision bill, I thought this was going to be
more Presidential Rhetoric but I was wrong. The president
stated that in a few minutes he would be signing the bill
into effect, well it is official now and we have in the presidents
words the most sweeping changes in the American Security
Policy since President Truman was in office.

Hopefully by my choice of words you'll see that I don't care much
for this legislation, I only hope that I am completely wrong in my
opinion. The only good thing I saw happen was that it did not include
drivers license reform. anyway tell me what you think.

Listen....do you hear it? In the distance. Getting closer now. SEIG HIEL, SEIG HEIL, SEIG HIEL! The fascism in America is spreading like cancer.

umm, you sure he wasn't talking about the intelligence reform bill, which he just signed into law? While some say that this bill incorporated a few features from PA2, it is not PA2...

Yes, it didnt include all the degridation of civil rights that P2 had within, only the parts they could slide by unnoticed by the general population. IMO thats they passed THIS bill. They knew there was no way they would get away with passing P2, so they broke it up into smaller peices and are now tacking it on to bills that have a chance of passing.

well if we are all agreeing that the author of this thread has misrepresented PA2, shouldn't he change the title? (Please).

Suggestion:
"Looks Like Intelligence Reform Bill is Official"

Wait, I thought that the internet was going to be turned off after Patriot II, how did you post this?

Anyway, its the National Intelligence Reform bill, not the 911 commission bill nor Patriot II. It has recommendations that the commision pushed, and Patriot II was supposed to be a real bill that was killed in committee and supposedly the NIR bill (law now) has some of its provisions.

Good point, they should, however the edit feature disables after two hours of posting. Rather, they should've thought about their post before making it.

Not just the intelligence reform bill. There are many bills up for vote and alot of those bills have had parts of P2 tacked onto the end of them inhopes that they will pass quietly.

sorry guys and gals I tried to change this but got back here to
late I realized after I had left the house that I titled this wrong.

I am not sure how many of you have read this bill
but it has much of the Patriot Act II attached to
it with different paraphrasing as well as 911 commission
recomendations.

Rectified....

They knew there was no way they would get away with passing P2, so they broke it up into smaller peices and are now tacking it on to bills that have a chance of passing.

And BINGO was his name-o....

I'm a full skeptic on the intentions of this bill.

I believe it's benefiting having all the departments functioning independantly. That way when corruption brews, or the new intelligence director is not following the best intentions for America, red lights will go off and the other agencies can pickup on these indescretions.


I just feel that it's too much powering being centralized. Something Nixon would've gave his left, you know what for!

Well, when they take us, I wanna be in a cell with you, marge

Ha, ha, ha, I will have to warn you I do a hell of lot of kicking when I am sleeping.

So, should we designate this new reform:

PA2 Lite?

or:

PA2 2.0?

That's ok Marge, just be sure and wear high heels. I'm sure we'll find an unlucky neo-con or two in there you can practice on.
