A law was passed by President Bush that makes annoying people on the internet on wedsite or by email without disclosing your identity. This was actually slpped into another into an act called the Violence Againist Women and Dept. Justice Reauthorizatin Act. It was slipped in by Sen. Arlen Spector of Penn.'s sponsers and went through the Dept. of Justice. In Sept. a version of the same bill was passed with radically diffrent wording.
I chose this article because it shows how the government didn't really pay attention to what they were passing even though it was in another act. And also how it went through a department that it most likely didn't have to.

I agree that this bill is very "unique" and usually would not have been accpeted into Congress especially under the Violence Against Women and Dept. Reauthorization Act. President Bush should make sure that all laws that need imediate attention be handled with first.
