Myth vs. Reality on Bush's Warrantless Wiretapping Program

A Fact Check on a Presidential Crime

By Sen. RUSSELL FEINGOLD


Myth: Congress needs to hold hearings on the NSA wiretapping program before a measure like censure is discussed.

Fact: The Senate Judiciary Committee has held multiple hearings on the issue despite the refusal of the administration to cooperate. Further hearings and investigation are necessary but those hearings will not change the fact that the President broke the law.

-snip-

Myth: The Senate Intelligence Committee is performing oversight of the warrantless wiretapping program, and that is sufficient.

Fact: The Senate Intelligence Committee has abdicated its duty to be a check on the executive by refusing to fully investigate the program.

2. Friday hearings are first the public will get to hear the arguments for
censure WITHOUT media spin.

Please call Cspan to request they carry the hearings.
