"Check This Out. Libraries should be a key target of the Patriot Act", writes Deroy Murdock in the "National Review"... Antidote: the "Resolution on the USA Patriot Act and Related Measures That Infringe on the Rights of Library Users", resolved by the American Library Association on January 29, 2003.
By the way, if you think that "Erasmus" (European Community Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students; okay, a bit cheated) and "Socrates" are well-done acronyms, then what do you think of "USA Patriot Act" meaning "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act"? How long did it take the american legislators to concoct something like that?
