The National Security Agency’s domestic surveillance program will be subject to court approval, according to a new letter from Attorney General Alberto Gonzales to lawmakers.
The NSA program, dubbed the “Terrorist Surveillance Program,” had been criticized for spying on Americans without warrants from a U.S. court. Now, according to Gonzales’ letter, the program will operate under approval by the secret FISA court.
Gonzales is slated to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee tomorrow.
