I'm just curious about this.

You would think an act of such enormous consequence would have some information out there as to who wrote it.

Do a search yourself.
All i come up with is an article that says Bob Graham may have played a small role.

So i was wondering, who wrote it, how did they write it so goddamn fast, and why did they not take credit for it.

You know its almost 150 pages long, is incredibly complex, and was written and passed within just under 1 month and 15 days after ... oh shit ... have to say it ... 9/11?

Passed on Oct. 24th, 2001.

So, did they have, like a team of lawyers and unnamed senators sitting round the clock drafting this fucker?

Or did Cheney have it in his back pocket since the PNAC days, just waiting to spring it?

Seriously.
It seems a tad odd to me.
If I was to smile and I held out my hand
If I opened it now would you not understand?

    No shit.
    So our precious patriot act was written by one lone vietnamese immigrant in less than two months?

    hmm...
    it could be true, but i just don't get it.


    Wait a minute,
    this mother fucker wrote the patriot act, which basicaly grinds up our constitution and spits on it [Source:I Love RON PAUL],
    but then he does THIS: In 2006 he joined Kenneth Starr in challenging the constitutionality of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act [1].
    ???

    SOX may be cumbersome and obnoxious to those in business, but goddamn, it's a lot less sinful than Patriot Act.
    ?

    Of course they did...nobody ever expected 9/11 to happen remember?

    Someone from Israel probably faxed it over shortly after PNAC...
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    I was under the impression Ashcroft was one of the authors, if not thee author. And, yeah, it was freakishly swift in its arrival after "THE DAY THE WORLD CHANGED."
