THE PATRIOT ACT? THAT'S LITTLE LEAGUE STUFF [Andy McCarthy]An excellent point. I suspect that the difference is that Chiraq is pretty much lock-step in line with the thinking on the far left here in the United States. They would have no problem with a Chiraqian leader of the Democratic Party doing something like this. At least, that's my read of it...
As "youth" rioting continues through its 18th day, Chirac's enlightened, progressive government in France will propose extending from 12 days to 90 the "state of emergency" that enables police to impose curfews and search homes as needed.
I wonder what they'd have said if a couple of cowboys like Bush and Ashcroft had tried something like that after 9/11. Here, we're having a national anxiety attack over court-authorized subpoenas for library records. After 3000 dead.
WMD's "Cabal of Liberal Readers" might have a different take in the comments section though...I dunno...
