Transcript of Bill Moyers interview/expose on Patriot II from PBS's show "NOW".. quoted: ===
MOYERS: The Patriot Act was passed six weeks after 9/11. We know now that it greatly changed the balance between liberty and security in this nation's framework. What do you think what's the significance of this new document, called the Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003? LEWIS: I think the significance is it just deepens and broadens, further extends the first Patriot Act. That act in 2001, they had six weeks, which was not a lot of time to throw something together. Now there's been 18 months of all kinds of things that have happened and court decisions that have tried to roll back some of the Patriot Act.
