| (Evil) Cheney resistant to change in spy program |
| 2006-02-07 |
| Vice President Dick Cheney on Tuesday resisted bipartisan appeals for changes in a hotly disputed warrantless eavesdropping program, saying he believed "we have all the legal authority we need." Democrats and some Republicans have urged the Bush administration to work with Congress to revise a law already on the books in order to end questions about whether the spy program, initiated after the Sept 11, 2001 attacks, was constitutional. And, Congress, being the deliberative body that it is, will give immediate and complete latitude to the Commander-in-Chief to get the job done (what shit) In an interview to air on Tuesday night on PBS' "Newshour," Cheney was asked whether President George W. Bush was willing to work with Congress to settle some of the legal questions about the spy program. "We believe... that we have all the legal authority we need," Cheney said. |
