Bipartisan Group of Senators Calls for Investigation of Bush's Secret Spying Order
Rebuffing assurances from President George W. Bush, Republican and Democratic members of the U.S. Senate's Intelligence Committee called on Tuesday for an immediate inquiry into his authorization of spying on Americans. But the White House on Tuesday brushed aside calls for congressional hearings. "This is still a highly classified program and there are details that it's important not be disclosed," White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.
