"House Intelligence Committee Approves Patriot Act Changes

POSTED: 4:16 am PDT July 14, 2005

CAPITOL HILL -- The House Intelligence Committee has approved renewal of the USA Patriot Act, allowing just one provision to expire five years from now.

The Republican-led panel OK'd a Democratic-supported measure that would drop the FBI'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."


"Sarah, if the American people had ever known the truth about what we Bushes have done to this nation, we would be chased down in the streets and lynched."

George Bush Senior speaking in an interview with
Sarah McClendon in December 1992
