WASHINGTON - The Bush administration asked Congress Friday to allow monitoring of more foreigners in the United States during intelligence investigations.

The administration says the changes are intended to help the government better address national security threats by updating the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to bring it into line with rapid changes in communications technology.

The proposal would revise the way the government gets warrants from the secretive FISA court to investigate suspected terrorists, spies and other national security threats.

The administration also wants new provisions to ease surveillance of people suspected of spreading weapons of mass destruction internationally.

One effect of such a change: the National Security Agency would have the authority to monitor foreigners without seeking court approval, even if the surveillance is conducted by tapping phones and e-mail accounts in the United States.

reliable, and trust worthy over the past 6 years. Right. . .?

4. I used to think that * had "minders" who wouldn't let him

go too far. Apparently, I was wrong. Even as unpopular as he is, he is still able to harm America. January 2009 can't come soon enough for me.

6. Let's see......hmmm.......commit crimes, then demand to be granted more rights to abuse?

Okay. Makes sense to me.

They're spying on American citizens. That is their "war on terrorism".
