Pelosi wrote Conyers to amend the FISA bill.

Update: Nancy Pelosi has written a letter to John Conyers asking him to amend the FISA bill:

Speaker Pelosi said that S. 1927, the bill passed tonight by the House to temporally amend FISA for six-months, after H.R. 3356, the Improving Foreign Intelligence Surveillance to Defend Our Nation and Our Constitution Act bill failed last night, contains many provisions that are unacceptable and she does not believe that the American people will want to wait that long before corrective action is taken. In a letter to Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, Jr. and Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Silvestre Reyes, Speaker Pelosi requested that the Committees report to the House “as soon as possible after Congress reconvenes,” legislation to amend the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
Below is the text of the letter:

Pelosi is looking at i.e. early September, after the August recess. Looks like Pelosi was flooded with phone calls and emails on concerns of the FISA bill. Pelosi and others will be keeping a close eye for the month of September when Petraeus and Bush give the American people the progress in Iraq. And it 's not going to be pretty..

To bad Americans don't read as they would have know the key word in the FISA Bill was TEMORARY. Yes the media and White House workers didn't highlight that word so as usual the American people jump to the wrong conclusion. Pelosi knows what she's doing.
