PBS' NOW With Bill Moyers exposes secret draft bill from the Department of Justice to extend powers of the Patriot Act
Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003, a bill designed to extend the powers of the Patriot Act, outlines significant broadening of law enforcement powers, including domestic intelligence gathering, surveillance, and law enforcement prerogatives, while decreasing public access to information and judicial review authority.
PBS- SECRET DRAFT BILL FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO EXTEND POWERS OF THE PATRIOT ACT
Read the Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003 (this is in PDF format in both high and low resolution.)
The show was unfortunately aired last night, but they may show it again on PBS - so you might also want to check out www.pbs.org for local listings and if they'll play it again in your area. I can't imagine they're going to let this go - so even if they don't air it again, they'll most likely be discussing it more. They want this information out, as they're theorizing that the Bush administration is waiting for war with Iraq before they spring this on the people.
I did happen to see the show last night, and it was scary beyond all imagination. I taped it - so if they don't air it again, I'll see if I can make copies and send it to those that what to see the show.
