Wiretap bill may have died -- at least for now

Well, this is good news I think. If the wiretap bill is dead, then existing law prevails. Bush, of course, will continue to pursue illegal taps, but the Courts will continue to pursue Bush.

Congress is unlikely to approve a bill giving President Bush's warrantless wiretapping program legal status and new restrictions before the November midterm elections, dealing a significant blow to one of the White House's top wartime priorities.

House and Senate versions of the legislation differ too much to bridge the gap by week's end, when Congress recesses until after the Nov. 7 elections, according to two GOP leadership aides who demanded anonymity because the decision had not yet been announced.
