Secrecy hurts renewal of Patriot Act
PrisonPlanet.com - Excessive secrecy is hurting the Bush administration's effort to win renewal of the anti-terrorism Patriot Act, lawmakers told top law enforcement and intelligence officials Wednesday.
The administration wants Congress to make permanent all 15 provisions of the law that expire at the end of the year, some of which have aroused civil liberties concerns among liberals and conservatives.

Florida Planning "Son of Matrix"
WiredNews - Florida law officials are contemplating a sequel to the controversial Matrix database that may be even more comprehensive than the original. The Multistate Anti-Terrorism Information Exchange, or Matrix, contained billions of commercial and government records, and was intended to help police track down terrorists and kidnappers. But the system was shut down on April 15 when federal funds ran out.
Considered overly invasive by many, the system's demise was celebrated by civil libertarians.

Explosive Video Report From SBS Australia
Were 5 Unarmed and Wounded Iraqi's Murdered By U.S. Marines?
Last November when a US marine shot dead an unarmed, wounded Iraqi in a Fallujah mosque, the story created international headlines. In fact, it was the biggest scandal to hit the US military in Iraq since Abu Ghraib. What we still don't know is what actually went on outside the frame of that now infamous image?
In his first international interview, the journalist responsible for capturing that awful shooting spoke with Dateline's Sophie McNeill, and a warning - this story contains strong language and confronting images. Let me say that we've left some particularly graphic scenes in this report because we believe they're critical to understanding exactly what happened that day in Fallujah.

Dr. Kelly's Death - A Vile
Rense.com - Mistrust in the present government is not exclusively due to the lies, distortions and distractions surrounding the Iraq WMD claims, and the legal advice about going to war with Iraq.
Government deceit extends also to the clearly inadequate investigation into the death of Dr David Kelly.

Wiretaps are up sharply as Congress debates Patriot Act
Final Call
Disclosure of a 75-percent increase in secret wiretaps and “sneak and peek” searches since 2000 is likely to provide ammunition for civil liberties groups determined to modify the Patriot Act, as Congress began two months of debate on the law April 5th.
The act was hurriedly passed shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington. It gave federal law enforcement agencies sweeping new surveillance and detention powers. Parts of the law are due to expire at the end of this year and President George Bush has called on Congress to renew the law in its entirety.
