Why does the GOP leadership want to see the PATRIOT Act made permanent?

Home More advice Politics & Law

I keep thinking...ultimately, it came out that the internal sharing of information in the FBI (as they were warned, twice about the attacks) was the reason that our intelligence agenies didn't prevent the tragedy. However, the Republican leadership thinks we need to make this act permanent...and the President also seems to think that invading our collective privacy and restricting our freedom is a "good" thing...personally, I think they are both in the wrong. OR am I missing something good about the patriot act?
