Patriot Act Defender Touts 'Safeguards'

Safeguards. Right. We've seen those.

Anne Broache writes on C|Net News:

The Patriot Act renewal's primary sponsor has kicked off a campaign intended to shine light on "civil liberties safeguards" he claims are contained in the latest draft.

The defense comes as Congress prepares to resume debate on a contentious "conference report." The measure has received backing from many Republicans but harsh criticism from a mostly Democratic contingent, particularly after news that President Bush had sanctioned wiretapping of American citizens without court approval.
