Saakashvili's 'patriot act'

Fri, 08/29/2008 - 6:13pm

Civil Georgia reports that President Mikheil Saakashvili is planning to introduce a "Patriot Act" to prevent Russian subversion of the Georgian government:

Saakashvili said that he planned to propose the parliament to develop “the patriotic act” and added that this new legislature – details of which he did not elaborate – would no way infringe the civil liberties.

“This will be carried out under the condition of maintaining democracy; freedom and liberties,” he added and repeated it for coupe of more times.

He said that the act was needed to prevent “external attempts to destabilize the country.

It's not clear yet exactly what this act will entail.

It might entail something like what Justin Raimondo wrote about on November 19, 2007: Saakashvili, the great "democrat," is busy charging anyone who opposes him with being a pawn of the Russians (and therefore guilty of treason), . . . http://antiwar.com/justin/?articleid=11930
