US-POLITICS-BUSH

US President George W. Bush waves after making a statement on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) reform legislation in the Rose Garden at the White House in Washington on June 09, 2008. The US Senate earlier passed a bill expanding legal authority for electronic wiretaps by spy agencies. The measure included retroactive immunity for telecommunications firms which aided warrantless government surveillance operations following the September 11 attacks in 2001 -- a key demand of the White House.AFP PHOTO/Nicholas KAMM
