Congressmembers write White House, ask if reporters were bugged


Congressman John Conyers, Jr. and 21 other House Democrats sent a letter to President Bush today requesting that he provide a range of information concerning the controversial warrantless surveillance program by the NSA, RAW STORY has learned.

In light of recent disclosures by NBC that CNN Reporter Christiane Amanpour's telephone calls may have been intercepted by the Bush Administration -- a fact caught by AmericaBLOG's John Aravosis. The Democrats asked for information regarding whether any reporters or other members of the media have had phone calls intercepted under the NSA program.

The congressmembers also asked the President to propose statutory language that would specifically authorize the program so that it could be considered as part of a possible extension of the USA PATRIOT Act scheduled to sunset Feb. 3.

5. Expose WHY Bush ducked FISA warrants.

Because he ordered nixonian wiretaps of his political foes that the FISA court would have nixed.

6. So * breaks the law and the Democrats want to make it legal?

And the Democrats wonder why no one respects them anymore? The ONLY thing I want to hear coming from Democrats mouths is IMPEACHEMNT. No cooperation with these people as they take over the country.
