FISA Court Judge WANTED To Share NSA Order With Congress-Bush/Gonzales Say NO WAY!
FISA court judge wants NSA order shared with Congress. The Bush administration “has refused to release any part of the order issued yesterday by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court authorizing NSA surveillance within the United States, saying doing so would risk exposing operational details.” But in a letter to Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Arlen Specter (R-PA), the presiding judge notes that she has “no objection” to the material being made available to Congress; it is the Attorney General who refuses to share it.

14. Sen. Whitehouse stepped up...
Can't wait to see the next round. That seat in Rhode Island has turned out to be a very good thing so far, eh? No wonder they poured money into Chaffee's campaign...

Whitehouse is FOR REAL. What a relief.

15. Um...Congress is 'The Peoples' representatives
So what does Bush have to hide from the Peoples representatives? If Congress lets this one go, then they are useless as a check & balance.

19. Dear Judge...
I could care less what your 'practice' is. You work for an independent branch of the government; stop blaming the other branches for refusing to do your job for you.
