Sen. Patrick Leahy Seeks Information on Subpoena of Google
January 25th, 2006

The Senate Judiciary Committee’s Ranking Member, Sen. Patrick Leahy asked A.G. Alberto Gonzales today “what steps are being taken to protect Americans’ privacy rights as the Justice Department demands information about Internet searches.”

In a letter released on Wednesday, Leahy asked Gonzales about the subpoena to Google and three other companies seeking data about what Americans search for on the Internet’s leading search engines.

Leahy asked about the types of information being sought, how the department intends to use the information while protecting individual privacy rights and civil liberties and whether it will issue any additional subpoenas.
