Do you think americans are losing their privacy rights? President Bush claimed new powers to search US mail without a warrant. He made this claim in a "signing statement" at the time he signed a postal overhaul bill into law on December 20.

According to the article, "A top Senate Intelligence Committee aide promised a review of Bush's move."
