WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama has signed a three-month extension of key surveillance provisions of the Patriot Act.

The law extends two areas of the 2001 act. One provision allows law enforcement officials to set roving wiretaps to monitor multiple communication devices. The other allows them to ask a special court for access to business and library records that could be relevant to a terrorist threat.

A third provision gives the FBI court-approved rights for surveillance of non-American "lone wolf" suspects - those not known to be tied to specific terrorist groups.

Obama signed the three-month extension of the provisions Friday. They were to expire Monday.

Lawmakers will soon start debating a multiple-year extension of the provisions, which have drawn fire from defenders of privacy rights.




cool good job obama woo swag damn

    The people who will not govern themselves, need to be governed. Unfortunately it seems that governing others appears to contribute more corruption.

    its a good idea, but nothing more. i don't see this playing favorably towards the nation. now im slightly worried about posting this. It sort of reminds me of the Ceaser situation. in times of trouble, the romans elected one man to govern and solve the problem more or less. but whose to say this law will ever go away? privacy concerns aside, the lone wolf non american thing simply smacks sourly of racism. We can't stop all threats, and to even try almost seems like madness. Like seeking perfection when we all know it doesnt exist. all utiopias are only there long enough to become a dystopia.

    One of George W Bush's most dedicated followers, Barack Hussein Obama, does Pappy Bush proud again.

    Pappy Bush approves strongly of Barack's performance in office again. The only thing Obama is doing wrong in Bush's eyes is not bombing Iran. Aside from that, Obama is being a good and loyal Bushite.

    Obamabush/Michelle Bachmann aka Crosseyes for 2012!

    What's the difference?
