Earlier this week, the House passed its own extension of provisions of the terrorist surveillance program set to expire at the end of the month. The Senate late Tuesday passed a three-month extension of provisions of the USA Patriot Act as Congress works to avoid a lapse of elements of the terrorist surveillance program that expire at the end of the month. Senate Democrats are hoping to avoid interjecting the national security issue into the 2012 presidential campaign by sending their bill to the Republican-led House, which earlier this week overcame opposition from conservative lawmakers to pass an extension through Dec. 8. The Senate voted 86-12 to extend three expiring provisions of the act that became law after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Two Republicans, "tea-party"-backed Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), joined Democrats in voting against the bill. Extending the expiring provisions encountered a political setback last week in the House as conservative and tea-party-inspired lawmakers joined Democrats in the House to oppose the measure they see as an overreach of government authority. Republican leaders have sought a permanent extension, which now appears politically difficult. www.latimes.com ORIGINAL UPLOAD from here www.youtube.com § 107.

democracynow.org - Brazil has made history with the swearing-in of its first female president. On Saturday, Dilma Rousseff received the presidential sash from outgoing President Lula da Silva at a ceremony in the capital Brasília. In the 1960s, Rousseff was a guerrilla resisting Brazil's military dictatorship. She was imprisoned and tortured for three years. Democracy Now! interviewed Greg Grandin, professor of Latin American history at New York University, and author of "Empire's Workshop: Latin America, the United States, and the Rise of the New Imperialism." His most recent book, "Fordlandia: The Rise and Fall of Henry Ford's Forgotten Jungle City," was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in History.
