Wouldn't the picture of the Department of Justice be more appropriate in a section on the Department of Justice (or possibly the US Patriot Act).

Wouldn't the picture of the Department of Justice be more appropriate in a section on the Department of Justice (or possibly the US Patriot Act).

It seems that although the paragraphs regarding the US have been cut, the picture was left in. I'm removing it. porge
