Senators demanded details Thursday from Attorney General Alberto Gonzales
about new orders putting the government's domestic spying program under
court review -- and questioned why it took so long to do so.

Meanwhile, the presiding judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Court said she had no objection to disclosing legal orders and opinions
about the program that targets people linked to al-Qaida, but the Bush
administration would have to approve release of the information.

Gonzales and National Intelligence Director John Negroponte said it was
uncertain whether the court orders and details about the program will be
disclosed.
