Excerpt: "France's president proposed a sweeping new law Thursday that would jail those who visit extremist web sites — one of several tough new measures floated in the wake of a murderous shooting spree.

The proposed rules, unveiled by Nicolas Sarkozy after the death of an Islamist fanatic wanted for a horrifying series of execution-style murders, have alarmed journalists and legal experts, who say they risk pulling the plug on free expression.

Sarkozy argued that it was time to treat those who browse extremist websites the same way as those who consume child pornography.

"Anyone who regularly consults Internet sites which promote terror or hatred or violence will be sentenced to prison," he told a campaign rally in Strasbourg, in eastern France. "What is possible for pedophiles should be possible for trainee terrorists and their supporters, too."

How the proposed rules would work isn't clear. When asked, Sarkozy's office directed the query for details to the Ministry of Justice, which didn't immediately offer clarification.

Journalists and lawyers are concerned.

"Trying to criminalize a visit — a simple visit — to a website, that's something that seems disproportionate," said Lucie Morillon, who runs the new media bureau of journalists' watchdog group Reporters Without Borders.

"What's especially worrying for us is how you are going to know who's looking at what site. Does this announcement mean the installation of a global Internet surveillance system in France?"

Media lawyer Christophe Bigot seconded her concerns, saying that any such law — if passed — would be a serious blow to the democratic credentials of a country that considers itself the home of human rights.

"I don't see how you can assume that a person who connects (to an extremist website) not only shares the ideas that are being expressed there but is ready to act on them," Bigot said. "That seems to be a very dangerous shortcut — a real step back in terms of individual liberty."

Bigot said it wasn't clear to him to what degree Sarkozy's proposals were serious. The president is only a month from a close election and has France's far-right nipping at his heels, so he's been under pressure to appear tough..."

When the airliner The Johnson Brothers were on, slammed into the hill, above The Mason Home, in Hayward, local officials wondered how The FBI arrived on the scene, before they did. And, why they were chased off by The FBI. In the defense of The FBI, they suspected The Johnsons might be what Obama is confirmed to be.

I'm not particularly fond of Obama, but this "Patriot Act" stuff started under Bush. Not saying Obama isn't on board too.

Sorry buddy, but it was Clinton, with a Joe Biden authored "Omnibus Counterterrorism Act of 1995" that started the ball rolling. Biden even admitted that the Patriot Act was his original bill sent up by John Ashcroft in.

Here is the text of the bill by Biden.

One more pack of self serving thugs. The Mormons don't even need to buy new shoes. They just keep wearing the shiny toed black shoes, they wore during their year on "Mission".
