Press release: “One week after U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales announced that the NSA warrantless surveillance program would soon be subject to the approval of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), Congressman Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) and several of his House colleagues, including House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Henry Waxman (D-CA) today called on the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Inspector General to expand his investigation of the program. Hinchey, Waxman, and three other House Democrats today sent a letter [text of which is included in this press release] to Inspector General Glenn Fine, asking him to determine why the Bush administration suddenly reversed its policy and allowed the NSA spy program to be subject to FISC approval.”
