Spying: Conyers, as usual, is hot on the case

as much as rep. conyers stands up and says what needs to be said and does what needs to be done, sadly, in this new totalitarian age of bush and his cronies, little seems to come of it...

Congressman John Conyers, Jr. and 21 other House Democrats sent a letter to President Bush today requesting that he provide a range of information concerning the controversial warrantless surveillance program by the NSA, RAW STORY has learned.

In light of recent disclosures by NBC that CNN Reporter Christiane Amanpour's telephone calls may have been intercepted by the Bush Administration -- a fact caught by AMERICAblog's John Aravosis. The Democrats asked for information regarding whether any reporters or other members of the media have had phone calls intercepted under the NSA program.

The congressmembers also asked the President to propose statutory language that would specifically authorize the program so that it could be considered as part of a possible extension of the USA PATRIOT Act scheduled to sunset Feb. 3.

with the sheer arrogance of this administration, i'm sure they'll feel free to ignore it just like they do everything else that might slow down their insane accumulation of power...
