India's Patriot Act (And Then Some)

Oh, also, I thought I should mention a new bill that both houses of India's Congress have passed (only a presidential signature is required to make it law).

The anti-terror bill would, among other things, allow defendants to be presumed guilty until proven otherwise and would set up special fast-track courts for terror-related matters.
Amnesty International has come out against it and I'm appalled that it even stands a real chance at being passed.
