H.R. 5020

House Resolution 5020, the fy2007 Intelligence Authorization bill has passed the house with the horrific language intact granting the CIA and NSA protective services plenary and opaque domestic law enforcement powers. The CRS summary for the CIA rules, Section 423, is priceless "to make arrests without a warrant for offenses committed in their presence if such personnel have probable cause to believe that the person to be arrested has committed or will commit a felony offense."

"Freeze, hippy! You look like trouble to me..."

So it is now on the Senate legislative calender awaiting enrollment as an official Senate action item, which I expect will happen within the next week or two...

I am so depressed about this right now...
