There is current legislation before the House that aims to strengthen the USA PATRIOT Act, with 5 versions of H.R. 3199 and 2 versions of S. 1389.This legislation triples the number of terror-related crimes (from 20 to 61) that would be eligible for the death penalty. These, being a major bone of contention between House and Senate negotiators who are stumbling for a compromise.
Critics suggest unwitting terror supporters could be put to death despite their complete ignorance of their support.
In unrelated news, monkeys were seen flying out of these same critic's collective ass this morning.
What I didn't see in the legislation was a provision to lace every form of mass transportation, every large gathering space, and every terrorists grave with pigs blood. It's an exceptionally cheap deterrent and, whether they actually did this or not, the mere suggestion of planting pig lard on busses in Israel has apparently reduced the number of terrorist suicide bus-bombings there. (If anyone has hard data on this, shoot me the link!)
I'll be taking your pig lard donations starting next week.
Short of that, I support strengthening our anti-terror laws.
