Democracies die behind closed doors
Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) is harnessing the power of the purse string to challenge the Bush administration's self-appointed power of the wiretap. Specter has introduced a legislative amendment that would eliminate funding for the National Security Agency's warrantless spying program unless Congress is kept in the loop about the program's activities. Specter's amendment (SA 3679)to the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Hurricane Recovery would require that the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, as well as all members of these committees, receive full, timely information on the NSA spying program.
