Daschle: Don't Stop Wiretaps
Some liberal Democrats are braking ranks and urging the President to continue terrorist surveillance:
Former Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, along with the ranking Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Jane Harman, said emphatically yesterday that President Bush should continue his controversial terrorist wiretapping program.
Daschle was asked by NBC "Meet the Press" moderator Tim Russert: "Knowing what we know now, should the president stop this program?"
The former top Senate Democrat responded: "No, absolutely not. I think it’s a very valuable program."
This is encouraging, but is he just trying to get reelected?
