Posted: Fri Sep 29, 2006 10:32 am
Yesterday the House approved a bill that would grant legal status to Bush’s warrantless wiretapping with new restrictions.
Bush would be authorized to conduct such wiretaps if he:
-Notifies the House and Senate intelligence committees and congressional leaders.
-Believes an attack is imminent and later explains the reason and names the individuals and groups involved.
-Renews his certification every 90 days.
