President Obama has signed a one-year extension of several provisions in the main U.S. counterterrorism law, the Patriot Act.
Obama signs Patriot Act extensions
Despite the best efforts of the likes of the New York Times and the San Francisco Chronicle to ignore the story, the Washington Times reports that President Obama extended the main portions of liberal-abhorred Patriot Act first passed by George W.
