White House Wants Search Limits Overturned

WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration asked a federal appeals court Friday to restore its ability to compel Internet service providers to turn over information about their customers or subscribers as part of its fight against terrorism.

The legal filing with the 2nd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in New York comes amid a debate in Congress over renewal of the Patriot Act and whether to expand the FBI's power to seek records without the approval of a judge or grand jury.


U.S. District Judge Victor Marrero of New York last year blocked the government from conducting secret searches of communications records, saying the law that authorized them wrongly barred legal challenges and imposed a gag order on affected businesses.

The ruling came in a lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union and an Internet access firm that received a national security letter from the FBI demanding records. The identity of the firm remains secret.

1. Ugly truth:The owners of NYT are hawks on mideast policy.

Does anyone think they didn't KNOW that "reporters" like Judith Miller and Adam Nagourney carry water for BushInc and their fascist cronies?

The NYT gets away with it mostly based on their faux "liberal" reputation. That's what makes them even more dangerous to democracy than the Washington "moonie" Times, in the same way CNN is more dangerous than FOX.

2. Has slashdot gotten ahold of this?

I've been out of town and haven't had a chance to look.

Maybe a DU'er with Slashdot "karma" could post this and see if it is accepted.

7. Will us liberals ultimately be identified by an armband with the letter "L"

on it when they prepare to send us to the forced labor camps or will they use some other method to identify us? They are just itching to get their damn hands on ALL of us. We are the debunker's of their propaganda. The Jews to THIS holocaust.
