Will The Real PATRIOT Please Step Forward?

Some sections of the USA PATRIOT Act are up for renewal. There are a lot of rumors going around about the PATRIOT Act, as there always are with something highly technical and legal that can't be intelligibly read by the general public or understood properly without some context. I've read the simplified explanations on the official government website. I always like to hear the other side of the story from people who object-- but I try to steer clear of mistaking rumor and invective for actual counterarguments.

For those like me who are interested in learning more about both sides of the argument, Patriotdebates.com has both sides from intelligent people who really understand the law.
