Read the whole thing.This goes far beyond the small talk of the patriot act.
I posted the link directly from congress,this is not second hand information.It looks on the surface to be a great piece of anti terrorist legislation,but then this "An individual, including a citizen of the United States" and the fact the President can consider any US citizen an Enemy belligerent.If this passes anyone at any time anyone could lose all there rights,even the right to remain silent even if you are just a SUSPECT(see above...and read the full thing at the source).
