Warrantless Wiretaps Unlikely to Be OK'd
WASHINGTON (AP) --
Legislation aimed at President Bush's once-secret program for
wiretapping U.S.-foreign phone calls and computer traffic of suspected
terrorists without warrants shows all the signs of not moving ahead,
notwithstanding President Bush's request this week that a lame-duck
Congress give it to him.
Senate Democrats, emboldened by Election Day wins that put them in
control of Congress as of January, say they would rather wait until
next year to look at the issue.
"I can't say that we won't do it, but there's no guarantee that we're
going spend a lot of time on controversial measures," Democratic Whip
Richard Durbin of Illinois said Thursday.
