Bu$h Never Giveth, So Bu$h Not Really Taking Away

Bush Administration Claims It Has Right to Conduct Warrantless Surveillance

Meanwhile the New York Times reports senior Bush administration officials told Congress on Tuesday that they could not pledge that the administration would continue to seek warrants from a secret court for a domestic wiretapping program, as it agreed to do in January. Senior officials - including the new director of national intelligence Michael McConnell - said they believed that the president still had the authority to once again order the N.S.A. to conduct surveillance inside the country without warrants.
