That Cowboy Chirac

From former federal prosecutor Andy McCarthy:

As "youth" rioting continues through its 18th day, Chirac's enlightened, progressive government in France will propose extending from 12 days to 90 the "state of emergency" that enables police to impose curfews and search homes as needed. I wonder what they'd have said if a couple of cowboys like Bush and Ashcroft had tried something like that after 9/11. Here, we're having a national anxiety attack over court-authorized subpoenas for library records. After 3000 dead.
