Someone standing up to Bush!

The extension to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (I think that's what FISA stands for) expired a week ago. The Senate version of the renewal was pretty much what Bush wanted, but didn't match the House version. Bush said dire things would happen if the House didn't accept the Senate version. The House went on vacation. Here is a rebuttal to Bush by Silvestre Reyes of El Paso and chair of the House Intelligence Committee: Domestic spying powers won't help. The problem is we don't have enough translators for the data we collect and our field agents have been transferred from Afghanistan to Iraq. Al Qaeda has regrouped under Bush's watch. Telecom immunity has nothing to do with assessing current terrorist threats because their transgressions occurred in the past. It should be considered separately and only after full review of documents Bush as been sitting on for 8 months. There's still time to tell your House member what you think
