keep FISA or a FISA like process in place, to do so without saying something like "George, you did wrong," We have two things going here. One is establishing that the Commander in Chief's powers are limited to what he's authorized to do. The other is setting up a revised FISA-type procedure. I think that Will is more concerned about the former. It seems to me that he wants to be clear that George exceeded his authority but not punish him for it as long as Congress sets up something better going forward and George follows it. I'm not sure which you mean by the "George, you did wrong" bit. The Bush folk, best I can tell, wish to do away with the process of getting warrants for wiretapping. Don't know why they wouldn't be receptive to a law change that met whatever needs they had that caused them to circumvent it. Not if it made this go away.
