Justice Dept. Drafts Sweeping Expansion of Anti-Terrorism Act

The Center For Public Integrity says the Bush Administration is preparing a bold, comprehensive sequel to the USA Patriot Act that will give the government broad, sweeping new powers to increase domestic intelligence-gathering, surveillance and law enforcement prerogatives, and simultaneously decrease judicial review and public access to information.

They say they have A PDF of the draft of the law. Bill Moyers Covered It, as did Newsday, Security Focus, CBS News, and I would assume The ACLU Will as well.

Meanwhile, GCN Says the Total Information Awareness terrorist-tracking project will now have 2 oversight panels.
