You don’t suppose Arlen’s actually telling the truth for once? Nah, how likely is that?
WASHINGTON (AFP) -President George W. Bush may be considering backtracking on his insistence the US government can eavesdrop on telephone calls made by Americans without a special warrant from a counterintelligence court, a top Republican senator said.
The White House declined to confirm or deny comments made by Arlen Specter, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, who has been negotiating over how to regulate the controversial program that has prompted charges of abuse of power.
“I’m not making any predictions until you have it all nailed down, but I think there is an inclination to have it submitted to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, and that would be a big step forward for protection of constitutional rights and civil liberties,” Specter told the “Fox News Sunday” television show.
Heh, heh. Aravosis has his own take…

[...] It all comes back to the media, and whether they will stand up on this one, finally. Or whether Spector will find some balls. Don’t hold your breath on either. [...]
