(2003-12-23) Stanton Patriot Act

Sam Stanton's piece on the Patriot Act. "It was never my intent to have the Patriot Act used as a kitchen sink for all of the law enforcement tool goodies that the FBI has been trying to get for the last decades," said U.S. Rep. Shelley Berkley, a Nevada Democrat who voted for the act in October 2001. "It's a classic case of bureaucratic overreaching. It is Patriot Act creep."
