Even our best new friends, the Iraqi government, compares Martial Law
to the Patriot Act. The only people that don't are BushCo, and blinded
right wingers.

The Iraqi government issued a long-anticipated package of security
laws Wednesday to help crush insurgents, including a provision
allowing interim Prime Minister Iyad Allawi to impose martial law.

"The lives of the Iraqi people are in danger, they are in danger from
evil forces, from gangs of terrorists," said Human Rights Minister
Bakhityar Amin, who compared the new law to the USA Patriot Act.
