Democratic Concessions Are Expected on Wiretapping
By ERIC LICHTBLAU and CARL HULSEWASHINGTON, Oct. 8 — Two months after vowing to roll back broad new wiretapping powers won by the Bush administration, Congressional Democrats appear ready to make concessions that could extend some of the key powers granted to the National Security Agency.
Bush administration officials say they are confident they will win approval of the broadened wiretapping authority that they secured temporarily in August as Congress rushed toward recess, and some Democratic officials admit that they may not come up with the votes to rein in the administration.
As the debate over the N.S.A.’s wiretapping powers begins anew this week, the emerging legislation reflects the political reality confronting the Democrats. While they are willing to oppose the White House on the conduct of the war in Iraq, they remain nervous that they will be labeled as soft on terrorism if they insist on strict curbs on intelligence gathering.
Well poop! You mean after all the moaning about spying on foreign data coming though the United States the Democrats are not going to cave to the moonbat left?
Oh, there are going to be some angry blog posts in the liberal blogosphere tonight!
