Среда 21-ое август 2007
AP Верхний демократ сената на понедельнике угрожал держать члены администрации кустика в презрительности для не производить subpoenaed информацию о законном объяснении для президента George W. Bush, Bush secretive программа wiretapping. «Когда сенат come back в встрече, я принесу ее вверх перед комитетом,» сказал датчик. Патрик Leahy, руководитель комитета Judiciary сената. «Я предпочитаю сотрудничество к презрительности. Right now, не будет вопроса что они находятся в презрительности действительного заказа съезда.» Комитет Leahy 27-ого июня subpoenaed отдел правосудия, совет национальной безопасности и офисы президента и недостатка - президента для документов relating to объяснение агенства национальной безопасности законное для программы wiretapping. С take over дом и сенат в январе от республиканцев кустика, демократы отжимали серию исследований в деятельности администрации споря то когда республиканцы были in charge они редк зондировали деятельности на Белом доме. В Соединенных Штатах, предположены, что служит съезд, законодательная ветвь, как проверка на executive ветви. Законовед Фред Fielding Белого дома, в письме понедельника к Leahy, сказал что администрации было нужно больше времени. «Комплект сердечника высоки чувствительной национальной безопасности и родственные документы, котор мы до тех пор определяли потенциальн subject to заявки executive привилегированности и то более вполне собрание и просмотрение всех материалов отзывчивых к subpoenas будет требовать дополнительного времени,» сказанное Fielding. Белый дом сказал он не искало конфликт с съездом над FISA. «Удлиняя и модернизируя FISA критически к нашей национальной безопасности, и наши профессионалы сведении учитывают ее императивом что мы не слабеем инструменты, котор они чувствуют обязательно для того чтобы защитить интересы национальной безопасности америки,» оратор Тони сказанное Fratto Белого дома. Leahy сказало они ждало long enough. «Почти 2 месяца с обслуживания subpoenas, 3 неделей с времени, котор они ask for дополнительное время. И все еще, мы не имеем ничего на всех,» сказанное Leahy. Также спрошенное Leahy ли сенат опять reauthorize законы расширяют правительственный орган к шпионке на иноплеменниках без subpoenaed информации. Congress, before it left for its August recess, approved an update to the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, allowing the government to eavesdrop on terror suspects overseas without first getting a court warrant. The overhaul was the result of a recent Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court ruling that banned eavesdropping on foreigners when their messages were routed though communications carriers based in the United States. The provisions expire after six months, but the White House wants them made permanent. “For Congress to legislate effectively in this area, it has to have full information about the executive branch’s interpretations of FISA,” Leahy said. “We cannot, and certainly, we should not legislate in the dark, where the administration hides behind a fictitious veil of secrecy.” Leahy also indicated that the committee would continue to seek recently resigned White House adviser Karl Rove’s appearance on the U.S. attorney firings. Fielding has said Bush would invoke executive privilege to keep Rove from answering questions or submitting documents to Senate Judiciary Committee. The committee has been investigating whether the White House ordered the prosecutor firings in ways that might help Republicans in elections. “I don’t think he had a valid claim of executive privilege, because all the testimony has been it wasn’t discussed with the president. If it wasn’t discussed with the president, there’s no executive privilege,” Leahy said. “And they’ve just lost the other claim they could make that he’s too important to the operation of the White House to be able to take time to testify. That’s not going to be the case anymore.” Have Your Say: Top US lawmaker threatens contempt proceedings against Bush administration officials Please read our posting guidelines before posting.
