House renews surveillance law for 5 years Sep 12th 2012, 21:49 Published September 12, 2012 Associated Press The House overwhelmingly has renewed a surveillance law that allows the government to monitor conversations of foreign spies and terrorist suspects abroad, while requiring approval from a secret court when Americans are targeted -- no matter where they are.
