  • Title: House approves overhaul of wiretap laws
  • Text: “The House on Friday approved a bipartisan plan to overhaul the nation's wiretapping laws. .. The House vote was 293-129, with 188 Republicans and 105 Democrats voting for it. .. One Republican voted against the measure, which now moves to the Senate. ... The deal breaks a four-month impasse between the Bush administration and Congress over whether to protect telecommunication companies that took part in a program critics say was illegal.” Commentary on this event: Dana Hunter, with links to others
