Bush vows to continue eavesdropping in U.S.

President George W. Bush has acknowledged that he ordered the National Security Agency to conduct an electronic eavesdropping program in the United States without first obtaining warrants, and he said he would continue the highly classified program because it was "a vital tool in our war against the terrorists."

In an unusual step, Bush delivered a live weekly radio address Saturday from the White House in which he defended his action as "fully consistent with my constitutional responsibilities and authorities.

Bush also lashed out at senators, both Democrats and Republicans, who voted on Friday to block the reauthorization of the USA Patriot Act, which expanded the president's power to conduct surveillance in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks.
