The Associated Press reports, "President Bush said Wednesday that a law hastily passed in August to temporarily give the government more power to eavesdrop without warrants on foreign terror suspects must be made permanent and expanded." The new law discussed by the President is the Protect America Act, and has been the target of much criticism because it gives the government unprecedented ability to eavesdrop, without a court order, on communications conducted by a person reasonably believed to be outside the United States, even if an American is on one end of the conversation.
