New Patriot Act.

It looks as if the Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Sen. Pat Roberts is working on a new Patriot Act. This new Bill reportedly, would give the Administration powers that it has sought for years for secret wire taps and powers of investigation that Congress has so far rebuffed.

What is disturbing and what really points to the fact that they don't really believe in this is that they are holding discussions on this bill in secret. They don't feel strongly enough in this Bill, that it could not stand public viewing of the details. That is wrong. How can knowing the details of a statute be a danger to national security?
