aducore writes "According to The Inquirer, the (American) company running the Iraqi .iq domain name .iq is under criminal indictment and cannot transfer control. So no Iraqi organization can get a .iq domain name, including the government. Iraq's National Communications and Media Commission and the U.S. administrator in Iraq are trying to get ICANN to free up the domain."

    The law is reprehensible [USPA], but the door was opened by left-wing erosion of gun rights that led to the

    death of other inalienables.

    now, a famous quote:
    The more corrupt the republic, the more numerous the laws. Tacitus, Annals

    Patriot sunsets. Its very unpopular and seemingly useless as almost nobody has been charged citing

    violations in the patriot act. The laws are too numerous to enumerate - its all really just balderdash.

    Funny, the ones that are easy to read are the ones most pissed on.
