Chicago City Council Chides Patriot Act by John Dobberstein
After an emotional debate, Chicago's city council approved a resolution Wednesday condemning the USA Patriot Act for casting a pall on the civil rights of minorities.
Aldermen backpedaled from an earlier resolution that demanded lawmakers repeal the entire act, and instead asked Congressional leaders to strike out portions that "violate fundamental rights and liberties."
Chicago became the largest city in the United States to criticize the Patriot Act, joining cities such as Minneapolis, Detroit, Baltimore, Philadelphia and San Francisco.------------------------------------------- posted 4:47 PM :: reference link ::
