Negotiators Back Scaled-Down Bill to Battle Terror.

I haven't looked at all the details -- I'm sure there'll be many things that bother or worry me -- but I feel the need to point out that Rep. John Conyers of Michigan and Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont are doing important work right now. Their refusal to give into Ashcroft's bullying and scare tactics have helped protect our civil liberties, and I appreciate their principled actions of the last few weeks. Not to mention Bob Barr! Who woulda thunk that we'd see the headline "Barr Joins Civil Liberties Groups in Urging Cautious Approach to Anti-Terrorism Legislation"! Nice one, arch-conservative bloke!

I'm sure I'll bitch later, but for now, I'm glad because I know it could have been a lot worse. And my ACLU renewal letter came in the mail yesterday....
