President George W Bush has urged Congress to renew a law to help eavesdrop on US telecommunications linked to terror investigations.
At the White House, he said the renewal of the expired intelligence law on wiretapping was an "urgent priority".

The legislation would provide legal immunity to telecommunications firms that helped the government after the 11 September 2001 attacks in the US.

Mr Bush warned the programme was "vital to our national security".

looks like Bush is trying to renew a law which permits
telecommunications firms to eves drop on people and keep them emune from any backlash it may cause.
