An AP newswire article, via MSNBC, reports that:
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was appearing before a Senate hearing Monday to make the case for President Bush's controversial electronic eavesdropping program. But even before he spoke, the Republican chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee asked the administration to have a special federal court review the entire effort.
In his opening statement, Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., said a question he would ask of Gonzales is if the administration would allow the Foreign Intelligence Service Court to review the program.
Specter also expressed skepticism over President Bush’s assertion that he has the legal authority to wiretap Americans’ conversations without a warrant.
