美國。 兩黨小組星期三說國家安全代辦處的warrantless監視節目是非法的。
憲法項目的自由和安全委員會在美國的聲明說。 在它在電子監視之前，注意敦促布什政府到牛肉法律國會應該完成它的探針入warrantless監視節目。
簽署聲明的那些包括： 大衛Keene，美國保守的聯合的主席; Walter Cronkite， CBS晚間新聞的前管理編輯; 前Rep。 Mickey Edwards, R-Okla., the chairman of the Republican Party Policy Committee; Harold Koh, dean of Yale Law School; and William S. Sessions, former FBI director under Presidents Reagan, Bush and Clinton.
“The NSA’s warrantless surveillance program has stood for too long as an affront to America’s rule of law,” said Keene, a co-chair of the Constitution Project’s Liberty and Security Committee. “The American people deserve to know why and to what extent the NSA has been tapping Americans’ phones without a warrant.”
The committee said the administration’s surveillance program “upends separate, balanced powers by thwarting the will of Congress and preventing any opportunity for judicial review.
“Congress should be applauded for taking steps to uncover the truth about the spying program,” said Sharon Bradford Franklin, senior counsel at the Constitution Project. “Congress must complete its investigation before considering any changes to the law governing electronic surveillance.”
The statement was published one week after a deadline for the White House and the Department of Justice to comply with Senate Judiciary Committee subpoenas to provide documents about the NSA’s domestic surveillance program. The White House has asked for and been given an extension on the deadline.
