| Bill may curb warrantless surveillance U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., reportedly is drafting a bill to curb warrantless surveillance used to monitor suspected terrorists and their calls. Specter, who heads the Senate Judiciary Committee, said he hopes to offer his draft in the coming weeks, although it is not clear if Congress can pass such laws, reports The Washington Times. The senator is among several Republicans who have expressed reservations about the surveillance which monitors the international communications of suspected terrorists, the report said. The concern is over the likelihood of using electronic surveillance of Americans without warrants. The administration claims President George Bush has the authority for such surveillance for national security purposes. But the White House also is prepared to hold discussions with congressional leaders so long as they don't compromise the president's authority.
