Jay Rockefeller, Patrick Leahy, Silvestre Reyes and John Conyers have an op-ed on washingtonpost.com that destroys Bush's scare tactics on the Protect America Act:

First, our country did not "go dark" on Feb. 16 when the Protect America Act (PAA) expired. Despite President Bush's overheated rhetoric on this issue, the government's orders under that act will last until at least August. These orders could cover every known terrorist group and foreign target. No surveillance stopped. If a new member of a known group, a new phone number or a new e-mail address is identified, U.S. intelligence can add it to the existing orders, and surveillance can begin immediately.
