Wash. Post falsely reported that DeWine proposal would require congressional authorization for extended warrantless spying

SUMMARY: A Washington Post article reported that a recent GOP bill would require the Bush administration "to convince" two congressional subcommittees that individual cases of extended warrantless domestic surveillance are necessary, implying that the eavesdropping would not continue unless the committees were convinced. To the contrary, under the bill, the subcommittees do not have the authority to approve or reject the continued surveillance.
