Yeah, it seems like they moved identity theft under the Patriot Act umbrella, though I don't know why. The best I could speculate is that it's a resource sharing issue? The resources and skills used to track terrorists fall in line with identity theft investigation? Did it mean harsher sentences or does it simply fall under that investigative/legal authority? I know the words "Patriot Act" are generally offensive, but did it really make a difference as to the harshness of the charges on this guy? I don't know.

I'm glad to see a couple of you speak up. I don't know how anyone could applaud this guy or what he did. We are a nation of laws, not men.
