Patriot Act dies at the end of this year... Oh wait, we found some terrorists!

How surprising is it that the US government found some terrorists right about the time that Bush has started campaigning for the extension of 16 or so provisions of the Patriot Act? Very convenient, I'd say. Despite the FBI stating this fellow was on the verge of carrying out his jihad here on a mission from Al-Qaeda, he has only been charged with making a false statement. Go figure. Let's extend the Patriot Act simply because some Arab in California made a false statement.
