Letter from Rockefeller to Cheney re NSA domestic wiretapping - 7/17/2003

[Pirate Smile]

From Talking Points Memo:

"Sen. Rockefeller (D-WV) just released a letter he sent the vice president on July 17th, 2003 after he received his first briefing about the NSA intercepts program. We'll be posting the letter momentarily. The long and the short of it, though, is that Rockefeller, as Ranking Member of the senate intelligence committee, was given a brief descrption of what was happening, but wasn't allowed to discuss it either with his staff or with his colleagues, even other senators on the intel committee"

CNN is now reporting this also - Ed Henry but he didn't go into what was in the letter. It was just released.
