House intelligence committee approves changes in Patriot Act
CAPITOL HILL The House Intelligence Committee has approved renewal of the
U-S-A Patriot Act, allowing just one provision to expire five years from
now.
The Republican-led panel O-K'd a Democratic supported measure that would
drop the F-B-I's powers to wiretap so-called "lone wolf" terror suspects --
people operating on their own.
The committee also accepted a Democratic proposal to give judges more power
over "roving wiretaps" -- those that target specific individuals.
Members of the House Judiciary Committee have voted to make most provisions
of the Patriot Act permanent.
The law was passed soon after the Nine-Eleven attacks, expanding the
government's intelligence-gathering powers. Parts of it are set to expire at
the end of the year.
