IRTPA

I've just realised why the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act, (IRTPA) could not just be called the Intelligence Reform Act. It would have been commonly referred to as the IRA. I wonder if that was an option that was considered before somebody spotted the irony?

Interestingly enough I've noticed EPIC have referred to the act as the National Intelligence Reform Act of 2004, that's NIRA and Intelligence Reform Law, that's IRL. (Scroll down to item 2 in the latest EPIC alert)
