...compromise that pleases nobody. Brown and Smith may again push for an extension, as part of a new terror bill already put in motion by their predecessors and due to be debated later this year. Other measures that might be included in the bill are the right to intercept calls and e-mails and to continue questioning suspects after they have been charged.
