Modern Copperheads By William R. Hawkins
On October 19, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence voted to strengthen court oversight of government surveillance while protecting telecommunications companies from civil lawsuits for tapping Americans' phones and computers without court approval. The bill is the FISA [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] Amendments Act of 2007 which essentially supports the use of modern technology to track and penetrate enemy communications. Intelligence Committee chairman Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-WV, has reviewed some secret White House documents on the surveillance program. He told the Washington Post that nothing he has seen so far makes him believe the use of the program has been illegal.
