Six month Patriot Act extension

i'm not sure how i feel about this... the original is so flawed, i hate to see it extended for 6 hours, much less 6 months... on the other hand, it sure beats rushing through debate and passing something worse, loaded with even more abridgements of civil liberties... guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens... maybe, god willing, bush and his cronies won't be around any more by the time the 6-month extension expires...
A much-debated domestic surveillance law won a reprieve last night when senators agreed to continue it for six months to allow House and Senate negotiators to resume efforts next year to rewrite it for the longer term.
