Although I do not subscribe to the concept that this bill will imping on our rights, I do oppose this on two grounds. 1. It is unnecessary and a waste of time and money. It will likely conclude that there are domestic terrorists (as we all know there are a few). 2. It strikes me as I read this like the House Committee on Un-American activities and Former Senator Joseph McCarthy's antics. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_Committee_on_Un-American_Activities I see the risks pointed out by Cajunpatriot as real possibilities. We need to keep the perspective that the office holders of today are possibly going to change every two years or so. The next person may not have the same intentions and may use this committee for different purposes.
