Title: "Patriot Act: Orwellian News" radio episode
Description: An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on the government abusing the national intelligence powers of the Patriot Act to investigate ordinary crime, not just terrorist activity. AuCoin deems the situation "Orwellian news," as the federal government was able to spy on American citizens without prior grand jury approval. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired between 2002-2004.
