Until they wait until people look the other way and then sneak it past. (Like every other privacy-rapeing bill over the last ten years.)

They won't wait that long. Folks in Congress mostly seem to be making the right noises so they won't be accused of being anti-civil liberties. But there's a big difference, as I say in Wednesday's Wired article on the topic, between raising criticisms in committee and voting against it whilst live on CNN. -Declan

Nah, they'll remove a few sections, claim a reasonable "compromise" was reached that preserves civil liberties, and say this bill is a necessary measure to thwart terrorism. Standing up for civil lib now gives them political cover later. -Declan

That's the best news I've heard since 9-11. Your source for this, if you don't mind? Reese

I spoke directly with Rep. Sensenbrenner at some length.
I reported it in an article I wrote Monday; Monday's hearing where chairman Sensenbrenner announced this was covered live on CSPAN; the committee web site was updated to reflect this; the wire service daybooks were updated to reflect this. -Declan On Tue, Sep 25, 2001 at 08:31:16PM -1000, Reese wrote:
