Bush agrees to full NSA oversight by Congress By David Morgan

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House, in an abrupt reversal, will allow the full Senate and House of Representatives intelligence committees to review President George W. Bush's domestic spying program, congressional officials said on Tuesday.

Two days before the program was expected to dominate Air Force Gen. Michael Hayden's Senate confirmation hearing as CIA director, the Republican chairmen of the Senate and House panels said separately that Bush had agreed to allow full committee oversight of his Terrorist Surveillance Program.

The program, which allows the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on the international phone calls and e-mails of U.S. citizens without first obtaining warrants, has stirred an outcry in Congress among lawmakers who believe Bush may have overstepped his constitutional authority.

1. The press can't keep its language straight
This is concerning the so-called Terrorist Surveillance Program, which probably didn't have such a name before it became known to the public. This does not concern the massive phone record storing.
