Senator leads panel reviewing White House’s surveillance program

Updated: 7:10 p.m. ET June 7, 2006 http://msnbc.com

WASHINGTON - Senate Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter wants Vice President Dick Cheney to stop trying to influence his committee’s review of the White House’s warrantless surveillance program.

“It is neither pleasant nor easy to raise these issues with the administration of my own party, but I do so because of their importance,” the Pennsylvania Republican wrote Cheney in a three-page letter Tuesday.

Specter complained that Cheney was lobbying other GOP Judiciary Committee members to oppose efforts to subpoena phone company executives. Specter wants to find out what they did to aid the National Security Agency’s controversial surveillance work.

Cheney is probably the one that ordered this unconstitutional act against Americans.

I still can't see how the American public can sit back and take no action against these criminal cooperate cons.
