This article on VoA sends shudders down my spine:
Pressure continues to build in Congress for changes to a three-decade-old law that critics accuse President Bush of violating when he approved efforts to spy on communications between people in the United States and those abroad. The president approved the spy operations in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
Words fail me.
There is also accelerating momentum for revising the 1978 law called the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which critics accuse President Bush of violating when he approved the wiretapping on the communications overseas after the September 11 (2001) attacks.
Congresswoman Wilson says the 1978 law has become dated, due to technological changes such as the Internet, and may not provide authorities waging the war on terrorism the kind of flexibility they require. "We need to make sure that our statute keeps pace with technology so that our intelligence agencies have the ability to do their job and keep us safe. Our committee, the Intelligence Committee will review the FISA act, look at what needs to be updated, and introduce legislation to make changes," he said.
Is she actually insinuating that the law should be changed to allow Bushie to carry on his warrantless surveillance? It certainly seems so.
