Book Description
Just six weeks after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, Congress overwhelmingly approved the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act, better known by its acronym, the USA Patriot Act. This hastily-drafted, complex, and far-reaching legislation spans 342 pages. Yet it was passed with virtually no public hearing or debate and was accompanied by neither a conference nor a committee report. This timely and lucid analysis examines how the new law endows the executive branch with vast unchecked powers, erodes civil liberties and privacy, and impacts immigrants.
