"The top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee wants the panel to look into whether the National Security Agency was eavesdropping without proper authority in the weeks after the Sept. 11 attacks.
It was one of the questions outlined by Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., in writing this week in a proposal to investigate.
The Bush administration has repeatedly said intelligence officials acted lawfully.
As a leader on the intelligence committee, Rockefeller is one of a select group of lawmakers who has been briefed more fully on the program, but he and others still have a number of questions they want answered.
Rockefeller wants the full committee to understand the NSA's activities - "including any warrantless surveillance" - that took place between the suicide hijackings in 2001 and the initiation of President Bush's controversial surveillance program."
You know, dang it all. Rocky had a plan, but dang it to heck, it just isn't working out. Seems by the new Saddam tapes that maybe all that pre war intelligence might have been more right on than has been protrayed.
I mean, this has got to be heart breaking. After all you went all the way to Syria to let 'em know we were coming so they got rid of the stash, therefore setting up the plan - and then these dang tapes show up.
Now your NSA dreams go up in smoke! Even after you let the cat out to the NY Times about it, and darn it all to heck now no one wants to look into the darn spy program.
It's not easy being a traitor is it....Rocky?
