| Editor's Note: Senator Arlen Specter, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is emerging as a key player in the Senate's belated effort to rein in the White House's unlawful use of domestic surveillance.

Below is another example of Specter's opposition to congressional action on this matter. -- ma/TO |
