Is a Redo of Post-9/11 Paranoia the Best We Can Do?
Nov 10, 2009

William Fisher, Truthout: "The USA Patriot Act, rushed into law by a panicky US Congress in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, gave law enforcement sweeping new powers, including broad surveillance powers to spy on innocent Americans. But it also stipulated that three of its more controversial provisions should expire at the end of next month unless reapproved by lawmakers. And it appears that reapproval may be about to happen - evidently with a green light from the Obama administration and over strong objections from human rights and civil liberties groups."
