Yahoo! News - Bush Urges More Police Powers Vs. Terror: "WASHINGTON - President Bush (news - web sites) told Congress on Wednesday to 'untie the hands' of law enforcement officials and arm them with wider legal powers to combat terrorists, saying the groups that struck America two years ago are wounded but still dangerous.
He specifically called for expanding use of the federal death penalty, tougher bail restrictions and greater subpoena powers that he said are available for other crimes, such as drug trafficking and embezzling, but can't be used against terrorism. 'This disparity in the law makes no sense,' Bush said in a speech at the FBI (news - web sites) Academy in nearby Quantico, Va. "
