Senate clashes over House terrorism bill and civil liberties
Senate leaders resist the House two year limit on wiretaps arguing it hampers the federal probe into the September 11 attacks. Leahy and Hatch voice concerns over grand jury secrecy and expanded police powers as Sensenbrenner and Conyers push compromise terms. The White House seeks quick dispatch but lawmakers differ on detention, wiretaps, and email monitoring rules.

FBI Passed Up Warrant Before Sept 11 Attacks
Washington reports that the Justice Department rejected a request for a national security warrant to search a suspect’s computer who is now a material witness in the Sept. 11 investigation. Ashcroft pledged tighter U.S.-Canada border cooperation to curb terrorism as new evidence linked hijackers to bin Laden and al-Qaida, with ties to the 1998 East Africa embassy bombings and the USS Cole attack.
