AUSTIN, Texas—A bipartisan majority of the U.S. Senate passed legislation yesterday to modernize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), allowing American intelligence professionals to gather critical additional information to detect and deter terrorists. Yet U.S. Senate candidate Rick Noriega opposed the measure, putting him far outside the mainstream and on the opposite side of most Texas Democrats.
Noriega objected to a provision in the FISA reform that prevents lawsuits against telecommunications companies that acted in good faith at the request of the administration and monitored potential terrorist communications. Thanks in part to disruption of terrorist planning, the U.S. has not suffered another domestic attack since Sept. 11, 2001.
