ANTI-TERRORISM BILL HITS SNAG ON THE HILL
The Senate is holding up the progress of the anti-terrorism
legislation proposed by the Bush administration due to concerns

including the CIA, access to wiretap and grand jury information.

J. Leahy (D-Vt.) are sniping over the bill. Each side blames

weekend agreement between the two sides that would have put the
legislation on a fast track. The House has already reached a
bipartisan agreement on the bill.
