'Secret' Senate meeting on Patriot Act
Critics say expanded act would let police go on 'fishing expeditions,'
but FBI disagrees. By Tom Regan | csmonitor.com Christian Science

June 6, 2005

In a move that could expand the police powers in the Patriot Act, the
Senate Intelligence Committee will meet behind close doors to discuss,
among other things, "a little-discussed provision to enlarge the FBI's
ability to wiretap people who it suspects are national security
threats." The bill they will discuss is called the Patriot
Reauthorization Act (PAREA)
