Senators: Bush Plan Misses Flaws

WASHINGTON (AP) - Leading lawmakers on intelligence issues said Sunday that President Bush ( news - web sites)'s proposed domestic security agency does not address flaws in the FBI ( news - web sites) and CIA ( news - web sites) and is just the start of the changes needed in response to Sept. 11-related failures.

"If the administration takes the stonewall position that every word in their plan is biblical and if you change it you're unpatriotic, I think that will be a very serious error," said Sen. Bob Graham ( news, bio, voting record), D-Fla., chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee.

Sen. Richard Shelby ( news, bio, voting record), the committee's top Republican, said Congress must review carefully what Bush's plan does and does not do. For example, he said, it fails to address problems with the FBI and CIA that Congress' intelligence committees are reviewing.
