They have an older draft of this bill here: http://www.eff.org/Privacy/Surveillance/20010919_ata_bill_draft.html Evidently there are multiple versions of the bill floating around, and they claim they don't yet have a copy of the text of the most recent one. The computer-relevant part seems to be sec. 309. It defines terrorist acts, in part, as violations of certain sections of US Title 18, sec. 1030. The text of US Title 18 sec. 1030 can be found here: http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/18/1030.html The statute of limitations issues are in section 301. The text of the DoJ analysis of this bill, asserting that such retroactive changes in SoL ARE constitutional can be read here: http://www.eff.org/Privacy/Surveillance/20010919_doj_ata_analysis.html It's all quite icky, if you ask me. -- --------------------------------------------------- Derek Martin | Unix/Linux geek [EMAIL PROTECTED] | GnuPG Key ID: 0x81CFE75D Retrieve my public key at http://pgp.mit.edu ********************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the following text in the *body* (*not* the subject line) of the letter: unsubscribe gnhlug **********************************************************
