The Patriot Act, part 2
Bush signs new rules on government wiretapping.
Quoting the lead in: "WASHINGTON - President Bush signed a bill Thursday that overhauls rules about government eavesdropping and grants immunity to telecommunications companies that helped the U.S. spy on Americans in suspected terrorism cases."
