"The documents held by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court -- including investigators' applications for permission to spy and judges' orders -- will be given to some lawmakers as early as Wednesday."
....
"The records will be given to Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont, and the panel's top Republican, Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pennsylvania, who two weeks ago lambasted Gonzales for refusing to turn over documents that even the FISA Court's presiding judge had no objection to releasing. At the time, Gonzales said it was unclear whether the court orders could be released without exposing sensitive security information.
The documents also will be available to lawmakers and staffers on the House and Senate intelligence committees. These people already were cleared to receive details about the controversial spy program.
Leahy said he welcomed the Bush administration decision to release the documents, which he said he would review to decide "what further oversight or legislative action is necessary." "
======================================
It'll be interesting to see Leahy and Specter's re-action to the information they've obtained (assuming it hasn't been heavily redacted). Pete
