Citing FBI abuses and the attorney general’s troubles, senators peppered top Justice and intelligence officials Tuesday with skeptical questions about their proposal to revise the rules for spying on Americans.
Senate Intelligence Committee members said the Bush administration must provide more information about its earlier domestic spying before it can hope to gain additional powers for the future.
…”We want to go after the bad guys,” Bill Nelson, D-Fla said, “but we want to prevent the creation of a dictator who takes the law in his own hands.” He said some senators and others legitimately believed Bush broke the law.
