Indeed, two congressional reports specifically identified numerous failures by Chertoff and DHS in overseeing the government's response. <br /> http://mediamatters.org/items/200708280002 Mon, 27 Aug 2007 20:50:43 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200608230004 McClatchy Newspapers misleadingly reported that legislation proposed by Sen. Arlen Specter is "intended to put the surveillance program under the jurisdiction of a special court established by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act [FISA]." In fact, under a deal reached between the White House and congressional Republicans on the legislation, the president has the option of asking the FISA court to review the program. CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin claimed that the Specter bill would "be a compromise" on the domestic surveillance program; many Democrats and progressives, however, have called the Specter bill an "end run" around FISA. http://mediamatters.org/items/200608230004 Wed, 23 Aug 2006 13:24:00 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200601110005 CNN's Jeffrey Toobin corrected a previous misstatement that Supreme Court nominee Samuel A. Alito Jr. was in the majority of the <em>Doe v. Groody</em> decision, a 2003 case involving the physical and visual search of a 10-year-old girl.
