Oh and even if the law expires.... Dec 16, 6:57 PM EST Patriot Act Powers to Last for Many Probes By MICHAEL J. SNIFFEN Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) -- Exemptions in the Patriot Act would keep its powers alive for many investigations, including all continuing terrorist probes, even if Congress allows 16 provisions to expire Dec. 31. As Congress struggled over whether and for how long to extend the act and with what new safeguards for civil liberties, attention turned to the anti-terrorism law's actual sunset provisions, which are sharply limited. Even if the law expires, the act provides that all of its powers continue in effect "with respect to any particular foreign intelligence investigation that began before Dec. 31, 2005, or with respect to any particular offense or potential offense that began or occurred before Dec. 31, 2005." In effect, Patriot Act powers would expire Dec. 31 only for new investigations of people whose criminal activity began after Dec. 31 and who were not associated with anyone who was under investigation before Dec. 31. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/P/PATRIOT_SUNSET?SITE=RIWAR&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2005-12-16-18-57-32 _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
