The Bush-Cheney war on terrorism, with its boundless Orwellian timeframe, warrantless searches, and wiretapping programs that epitomized its extra-constitutional prosecution, has been deemphasized by the Obama administration, but it nonetheless supports renewing three provisions of the Patriot Act due to expire at the end of 2009, despite objections from liberal and conservative groups regarding excessive governmental authoritytointrudeintoAmericans'privatelives.The Ameri can Civil Liberties Union, which opposes extension, characterized the administration's position as "a mixed bag," and hopes the next version of the Patriot Act will contain important safeguards concerning the collecting of international communications and specifically bar surveillance of protected First Amendment activ...
