WikiLeaks Being Used to Justify "Patriot Act" Legislation For Internet
Quote:In this article, it starts out, Senator Mitch McConnell called Assange a "high-tech terrorist" on NBC's Meet the Press Sunday and said, "if it‘s found that Assange hasn’t violated the law, then the law should be changed." There is a part of the Constitution against 'bills of attainder' which means no law can post-facto be constructed for a person or group doing something that was not a crime before the construction of said new law. But, it is just an old piece of paper, as W said. Shredded by the unPatriot Act. I think America's march to total lockdown in a police state has now been accelerated by this whole Wikileak affair - but was rather inevitable anyway and well on its way without it. Time to get out in the streets folks...or loose all your rights and even the internet as we know it....by the end of next year, at the latest.From WikiLeaks to #ukuncut, Twitter gets political
