HISTORY - web broadcasts for Patriot Act

UPDATE:

The web broadcasts that I linked to in my last post seem to be down. It may be that the server holding PBS's archived videos crashed over the weekend.

If you still need some information or quotes from these broadcasts to complete your essay OR to help you plan for the debate I have printed copies of the transcripts available in my room (C-225)
