    Patriot Act of 2001 casts wide net
    By Frank J. Murray
    Published June 15, 2003

    "Long-sought details have begun to emerge from the Justice Department
    on how anti-terrorist provisions of the USA Patriot Act were applied
    in nonterror investigations, just as battle lines are being drawn on
    proposed new powers in a Patriot Act II. Overall, the policy now
    allows evidence to be used for prosecuting common criminals even
    when obtained under extraordinary anti-terrorism powers and
    information-sharing between intelligence agencies and the FBI."
