Treasury casts a wide net under Patriot Act

This is interesting and perhaps disturbing on its own merits. The thing that really caught my eye was the claim that Senator John Kerry originally drafted the relevant section of the Act as stand-alone legislation. Those of you who recall our conversations regarding the 2004 presidential election may remember Evil Tyrant saying his research indicated that Candidate Kerry was no better an advocate for privacy than his competitor, Candidate Bush. If the assertion in this article regarding Senator Kerry is correct, then it certainly substantiates Evil Tyrant’s view of Candidate Kerry.
