Feb. 13 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush, his popularity at low ebb, may yet score another legislative victory by evoking fears of a new terrorist ****** to win stronger powers to conduct electronic eavesdropping.
The Democratic-controlled Senate yesterday approved 68-29 a bill giving the president expanded authority to intercept phone calls and e-mails of suspected terrorists. The measure also shields phone companies from lawsuits for helping Bush eavesdrop on suspected terrorists without court warrants after the Sept. 11 attacks.
