Rep. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis, right, speaks at a town hall meeting Sunday, Oct. 27, 2013 in West Bend, Wis. Sensenbrenner gave more surveillance power to U.S. government spies, railed against civil liberties advocates who warned about privacy abuses and even shut down a 2005 hearing to silence critics. Now he wants to scale back some of the counterterror laws he once championed, citing an overreach by the National Security Agency. The Wisconsin Republican plans to offer legislation as early as Oct. 29 to overhaul the NSA. (AP Photo/Jeffrey Phelps)

FILE - In this Sept. 3, 2013 file photo, President Barack Obama speaks in the Cabinet Room of the White House in Washington. In declaring Syria a national security threat, the Obama administration is warning Americans as much about the leaders of Iran and North Korea as about President Bashar Assad. And America’s credibility with those countries will be an immediate casualty if fails to respond to Syria now, administration officials say in making their case for U.S. missile strikes. It’s a connection that’s not immediately clear to most Americans _ especially after the White House refused to send military support earlier in the Syrian war. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster, File)
