Bush Calls for Permanent Warrantless Authority

The Washington Post:
Bush called on Congress Wednesday to make permanent a law that gives the government broad authority to eavesdrop without warrants on phone calls, e-mail and other communication between people in the United States and people abroad. The president wants Congress to extend the law, set to expire in February, that allows spy agencies to intercept the communications of suspected terrorists that pass through U.S. switching facilities.
