The Bush administration is unlikely to allow the incoming Democratic majority in Congress to learn details about its domestic spying program and interrogation policy, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter (R-PA) said Thursday. He added he would welcome detailed congressional oversight of the National Security Agency's warrantless eavesdropping: "We have to really get into the details as to what the program is, as to how many people they are tapping, what they're finding out." Sen Specter and other critics say the program has violated U.S. laws, including the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, which requires warrants for all intelligence surveillance.
