Wired News: Congress Expands FBI Spying Power

They passed the biggest chunk of Patriot II by sneaking it into an Intelligence Finance bill.

"Intelligence spending bills are considered sensitive, so they are usually drafted in secret and approved without debate or public comment.

Chris Schroeder, a Duke law professor and former assistant attorney general in the office of legal counsel at the Justice Department, said the re-insertion shows that "people who want to expand the powers of the FBI didn't want to stop after Patriot II was leaked."

"They are going to insert these provisions on a stealth basis," Schroeder said. "It's insidious." "

Those sneaky, cowardly bastards! They knew they couldn't pass it on it's own cause it's an unconstitutional, Big Brother, Soviet Union-esque piece of crap! So the belly crawlers bury it somewhere no on would think to look for it and where no one would notice until it was too late and passed it!

Pravda, comrades!
