CDT Calls for More Court Oversight of Surveillance - A surveillance bill introduced today by the chairmen of the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees would restore some limited judicial oversight of government eavesdropping affecting American citizens. CDT is urging Congress to further strengthen the role of the FISA Court . In particular, the legislation, which authorizes blanket warrants for periods of up to one year, should be amended to require individual court orders when surveillance targeted at persons abroad intrudes on the rights of Americans who are communicating with people overseas.
