Please try to keep this factually based. You may think it is unconstitutional, but until it is declared so, it is not. Even then, until the decision lasts through the appeals process, the decision is tentative.

[edit] Eli Lily?

The Homeland Security Act gets five lines while the Eli Lilly rider gets nine? That seems a little off.


    I don't know about Eli Lily page, but this is nothing. Where is the list of powers granted and criticisms of the Act?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.178.170.192 (talk) 03:08, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Duplicate?

I just noticed there are two of these...

[edit] NPOV

Civil liberties imperiled by the Homeland Security Act include some constitutional rights, namely: the rights to freedom of speech, religion, assembly and privacy; the rights to counsel and due process; and protection from unreasonable searches and seizures. Already galvanized by the hasty passage of the earlier USA PATRIOT Act, eighteen cities and towns declared themselves 'civil liberties safe zones' within months after HSA's passage, according to a 2002 Village Voice column. [1] Concerns about curtailment of civil liberties by the HSA were given a heightened sense of urgency by media revelations in 2002, about another Bush administration initiative, which created a new Pentagon agency under the direction of John Poindexter, known as the Office of Total Information Awareness.

No, definitely not. As much as I hate Bush, this has to be neutral. And it shouldn't consist solely of criticisms. Twilight Realm 08:23, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


Also, what about some pro- links? The US Govt. is not the only party thats in favor... Limited Moon 03:08 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fatal bias

First post ever to Wiki. Hope I haven't violated local ettiquette.

As written, the article was fatally biased. Don't know how much explanation this requires, because it seems so plain.

If there's anything to talk about, we'll probably hear.

[edit] ANSI

Is there a reason that ANSI is listed as an official US government link? It is a private organization. I would recommend it be moved to a more appropriate category. DanRP (talk) 15:22, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
