Whoa, shit.

If you just look at this journal and not my ranting at OMC -- oh ye thrillerites -- then you won't know that a romance writer was severely fucked under the terms of the patriot act for doing terror-related research for a novel.

Go here for a look: http://www.livejournal.com/users/oldmotherchaos/46259.html

Obvious, given that I'm currently researching a book that includes gang crime and links to past terrorists, I'm suddenly rather fucking scared.

This is not good.
Have I used the word "Jackboots" yet?

Thanks to Joey for the heads-up.
