Stealth passage of "Protect America Act".(Inside Track)(Brief article)
A newly crafted piece of legislation will expand the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). The legislation, entitled the Protect America Act of 2007 (S. 1927), was authored mostly by the White House and submitted to Congress by Mike McConnell, the Director of National Intelligence. With little room for public debate, the bill to expand the wiretapping surveillance program has not only been passed by Congress, but also signed by President Bush.
