FY 07 House Intelligence Authorization Bill, Section 432

Pogo has an interesting article on FY 07 House Intelligence Authorization Bill, Section 432, which would allow CIA and NSA personnel to make arrests without a warrant if they have probable cause to believe that the person to be arrested has committed or is committing a felony offense. 

One of the interesting points here is that the CIA charter only provides for intelligence gathering abroad.  This bill would allow the CIA to make arrests on U.S. soil, effectively becoming an uber government police organization, having jurisdiction over local and state authorities and probably even the FBI.   Just consider the CIA's past.  Fortunately, the CIA does have to answer to the GAO somewhat, but the very nature of their organization (as well as the NSA)  brings up concerns of possible future police actions by secrecy based organizations.
