Another “I Was for It Before I Was Against It?”

By Marc Schulman on Domestic Spying
AMERICAN FUTURE

From the AP:

<<< The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee told President Bush Wednesday that the White House broke the law by withholding information from the full congressional oversight committees about a new domestic surveillance program.

In a letter to Bush, Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif., said the NSA requires the heads of the various intelligence agencies to keep the entire House and Senate intelligence committees “fully and currently informed of the intelligence activities of the United States.”

Only in the case of a highly classified covert action can the president choose to inform a narrower group of Congress members about his decision, Harman said. That action is defined in the law as an operation to influence political, economic or military conditions of another country.

“The NSA program does not qualify as a ‘covert action,’” Harman wrote......

....Responding in writing to Harman, House Intelligence Chairman Peter Hoekstra, R-Mich., said Harman had never previously raised concerns about the number of people briefed on the program.

    In the past, you have been fully supportive of this program
    and the practice by which we have overseen it. I find your
    position now completely incongruent.....
