patriot used against everyone BUT terrorists

"In the two years since law enforcement agencies gained fresh powers to help them track down and punish terrorists, police and prosecutors have increasingly turned the force of the new laws not on al-Qaida cells but on people charged with common crimes."

funny, cuz when koppel asked that doj spokesperson "who needs to worry about the patriot act," the lady said "terrorists." since when is illicit drug manufacture terrorism? uh, since that bill passed, i guess.
