Senators Question Attorney General Gonzales About Eavesdropping Program
Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales was lectured on Capitol Hill today by senators who were only partly mollified by the Bush administration�s concession to allow judicial oversight of its electronic-eavesdropping program. Senator Patrick J. Leahy, the Vermont Democrat who has just become chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told Mr. Gonzales he welcomed the administration�s decision, announced on Wednesday, to seek approval for eavesdropping from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, �as many of us, many of us, have been saying should have been done years ago.�
