    GOP chairwoman calls for 'complete review' of NSA eavesdropping

    WASHINGTON (AP) -- Breaking with the White House, Rep. Heather Wilson, R-New Mexico, chairwoman of the House Subcommittee on Technical and Tactical Intelligence, says the time has come for a "complete review" of President Bush's eavesdropping program, her spokesman said Wednesday.

    Wilson, who chairs a panel that oversees the National Security Agency, also wants Congress to change a 1978 foreign intelligence law following the disclosure of the NSA program, Joel Hannahs, Wilson's spokesman, said.

    She believes she has a cons utional responsibility to oversee this program, and the House Intelligence Committee is en led to full briefings, he said.

    Hannahs also said that Wilson believes the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act needs to be updated to "take into account new technology." The law governs the monitoring of calls inside the United States for national security reasons.

    The White House has insisted that it has the legal authority to monitor terror-related international communications in cases where one party to the call is in the United States.

    Senior administration officials also say they were within the law when they chose to brief only Congress' so-called "Gang of Eight" -- the leaders of the House and Senate and its intelligence committees.

    While the Gang of Eight can be notified, Wilson believes "that is not oversight," Hannahs said.

    Aboard Air Force One, White House spokesman Scott McClellan on Wednesday reiterated the administration's position that Congress has been briefed. He said the White House "will continue to listen" to ideas from Congress.


    Yes, I like this woman.
