Sourced from a USA based rocketry list.

OK - I know I'm near the acceptable edge on this one.
(Which side of the edge remains to be seen.)

I suggest that you probably don't want to comment on list about this.
TELLING you about it as an information source is arguably marginal.
DISCUSSING it is liable to rapidly drop into political discussion and we all
die. By all means flame me offlist (or send virtual roses) or comment as you
see fit.

What I'm seeking to do is point those interested to proposed new US
legislation that they may quite likely not know about. I strongly recommend
that anyone in the US who loves their country (regardless of their political
affiliations) makes themselves aware of this material. Your congress-person
may be interested in what you think, whatever it happens to be. (But maybe
not).

Two sources. I have no idea of the political standing of these sites
(notwithstanding their claims):

NOW with Bill Moyers. Public Affairs television.

        http://www.pbs.org/now/politics/lewis.html

The centre for Public Integrity. (CLAIMS to be non-partisan)


http://www.publicintegrity.org/dtaweb/report.asp?ReportID=502&L1=10&L2=10&L3
=0&L4=0&L5=0

    more frightening, perhaps

eg from this page

Dr. David Cole, Georgetown University Law professor and author of Terrorism
and the Constitution,  .......
This proposed law, ..... "would radically expand law enforcement and
intelligence gathering authorities, reduce or eliminate judicial oversight
over surveillance, authorize secret arrests, create a DNA database based on
unchecked executive 'suspicion,' create new death penalties, and even seek
to take American citizenship away from persons who belong to or support
disfavored political groups."

This is within the US btw
