RNC ad on Feingold isn't true

Here's a surprise: The Republican National Committee plays fast and loose with the facts in the radio ad it is running to attack Sen. Russ Feingold.

FactCheck.org finds:

A GOP radio ad accuses Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin of proposing to censure President Bush "for pursuing suspected members of al Qaeda," which isn't true. Feingold has stated he supports wiretapping suspected terrorists. His measure would censure Bush for ordering wiretaps on US soil without a court warrant, for failing to notify all members of the Senate and House intelligence committees, and for "efforts to mislead the American people" about the legality of the program.
