House Defies Bush Demandfor Telecom Warrantless Wiretap Immunity Interview with Caroline Fredrickson, director of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office, conducted by Scott Harris  Although House Democratic leaders were willing to extend by 30 days the expiring Protect America Act, a temporary surveillance bill passed last August, the president threatened to veto any extension. Unable to extend the time to hammer out a House-Senate compromise, House leaders let the Protect America Act expire on Feb. 16. In response to the House action, President Bush blamed Congress for placing the United States in "more danger of attack" because his favored domestic wiretapping legislation was not passed. But despite the fact that U.S. intelligence agencies still have the tools to monitor the communications of suspected terrorists, the president and Republican legislators are clearly attempting to use this issue to make national security a political issue in the 2008 election. Between The Lines' Scott Harris spoke with Caroline Frederickson, director of the ACLU's Washington Legislative Office, who talks about the ongoing battle over President Bush's warrantless surveillance program and the unexpected resistance in the House to providing retroactive immunity for telecom companies.
