Over the last few weeks, a special-interest group with a partisan political agenda has run misleading ads to create a culture of fear across the country.These ads, which the nonpartisan, non-profit FactCheck.org has called “false” and “misleading,” have caused a great deal of confusion about an important debate in Congress. They even alleged our ability to conduct “surveillance against terrorists is crippled.”

This is patently false.

Through the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, our intelligence community has the full ability and authority to intercept suspected terrorist communications to prevent attacks. FISA is not, as some have implied, going to expire.
