Harman Says NSA, Admin Broke Law in Hearings

Jane Harman, ranking Dem on the House Intel cmte., says it's her opinion that the NSA broke the law in hearings before her committee by not being forthcoming and honest.

The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee told President Bush Wednesday that the White House broke the law by withholding information from the full congressional oversight committees about a new domestic surveillance program.

In a letter to Bush, Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif., said the National Security Act requires the heads of the various intelligence agencies to keep the entire House and Senate intelligence committees "fully and currently informed of the intelligence activities of the United States."
