According to The Center for Public Integrity, the DOJ “is preparing a bold, comprehensive sequel to the USA Patriot Act.”
The CPI has uploaded a copy of the draft to its website (Warning: Due to rightfully high server traffic, the PDF file may take a while to download).
Judging from the heavy web traffic, concerned Americans want to know what Ashcroft & Co. are up to. Blogosphere reactions to it so far from both sides of the political spectrum have been negative (again, rightfully so!).
More personal commentary to come, folks, so hold your water. Libertarians prefer to be calm, cool, and rational (well, at least this one tries to be).
