Bush* Denies His New Request Is Another Patriot Act

WASHINGTON -- The White House won't say it, the Justice Department denies it and opponents salivate at every opportunity to use it.

''The USA Patriot Act'' is a phrase that Bush administration officials shun when questioned about the new anti-terrorism powers the president is asking lawmakers to give police and prosecutors.

Among the measures President Bush is seeking are expanded use of the federal death penalty, tougher bail restrictions and FBI power to subpoena records and witnesses without having to go to a judge or grand jury.

The new authority would be in addition to the broad powers for searches, wiretaps, electronic and computer eavesdropping, and access to personal and business information Bush got from Congress six weeks after the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

In the fervor of the time, the bills were dubbed by sponsors as the Uniting and Strengthening America -- or USA -- Act in the Senate and the Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism -- or PATRIOT -- Act in the House. They were combined to become the USA Patriot Act.

their civil liberties due to the Reichstag fire in order for the government to protect them from their enemies within their country.
