-- President Bush sent his anti-terrorism bill to
Congress late Wednesday, launching an emotional debate that will force U.S.
politicians to choose between continued freedom for Americans or greater
security. Created in response to last week's bloody attacks, the draft
"Mobilization Against Terrorism Act" (MATA) rewrites laws dealing with
wiretapping, eavesdropping and immigration. The draft, intended to increase
prosecutors' courtroom authority, also unleashes the government's Echelon and
Carnivore spy systems. "We will call upon the Congress of the United States to
enact these important anti-terrorism measures," Attorney General John Ashcroft
said this week. "We need these tools to fight the terrorism threat which exists
in the United States, and we must meet that growing threat."
