Admin to Tell Congress NSA Spying DetailsAttorney General Alberto Gonzales will share with congressional leaders details of the NSA’s domestic surveillance program that were seen by the court which approved the program’s application, AP reports.
Gonzales said the documents will be shared with Sens. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Arlen Specter (R-PA), chairman and ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, as well as staff and members of the House and Senate intelligence committees. They will not be made public.
At a hearing two weeks ago, Leahy and Specter had pressed Gonzales on why the administration was not more forthcoming with Congress on details of the program.
