Panel to Expand Inquiry on Surveillance
By ERIC LICHTBLAU

WASHINGTON, March 2 — Leaders of the House Intelligence Committee agreed Thursday to expand their inquiry into the National Security Agency's domestic surveillance program, but Republicans rejected a broader effort by Democrats for President Bush to turn over detailed White House records on the operation.

The developments reflected continued uncertainty in Congress over whether lawmakers should authorize the surveillance program, or seek to rein in an operation that Democrats contend is illegal.

3. What a bunch of hogwash
Hello people: Wake up. Please get a clue. This is all DC politics.

Our "representatives" already know the government listens to your cell and phone calls, intercepts your email, sniffs your email, data mines your computer files, eavesdrop on your conservations, and outright does surveillance on targeted Americans and foreigners.

It has been going on for freaking years. Congress is not going to do a damn thing about it. Half of what they are doing, they freaking approved it and funded it.
