Propaganda Tour under scrutiny by Congress
At least one Democrat in Congress has the guts to stand up to Generalissimo Ashcroft. Rep John Conyers of Michigan has called for the Attorney General to stop with his rah-rah tour to promote the USA PATRIOT Act (UPA) because it violates a ban on the use of Department of Justice (DoJ) money for "publicity or propaganda purposes not authorized by Congress." The DoJ must know how much opposition there is to UPA because they are doing this tour and they also felt the need to create a new website with the sole purpose of defending the UPA.
