The nation's top intelligence official drew sharp criticism from Capitol Hill and government watchdog groups Thursday for disclosing previously classified details about the Bush regime's warrantless wiretapping program. In a newspaper interview http:// www.elpasotimes.com/ci_6685679 last week, Director of National Intelligence J. Michael McConnell provided new details on the scope of the espionage program... He also disclosed details about a previously secret decision by a special intelligence court that ruled that the program was in violation of U.S. law. The deliberations of the court are generally classified.

The disclosures stunned members of Congress. THEY were not allowed to discuss those same details publicly during an intense debate this month on legislation sought by McConnell that granted the government significant new powers to eavesdrop on e-mails and phone calls that pass into or through data networks in the United States.
