Senate plans no probe of NSA spy program

CNN.com - Senate plans no probe of NSA spy program - Feb 17, 2006 "An investigation at this point basically would be detrimental to this highly classified program and our efforts to reach some accommodation with the administration," said Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kansas.
