George W Bush explains why we need wiretaps - he makes his case clear ? After more than a year of heated political wrangling, the Senate handed the White House a major victory Tuesday by voting to broaden the government's spy powers after giving legal protection to phone companies that cooperated in President Bush's warrantless eavesdropping program.

Beyond the immunity provision, the Senate measure would also widen the executive branch's surveillance powers by allowing the National Security Agency and intelligence agencies to use broad orders — without getting court orders in advance — to eavesdrop on groups of overseas targets, rather than using individualized warrants.
