Wiretapping Wednesday!

Bush Asks Congress to Extend NSA Program


This article is a fascinating look into the current wiretapping laws and how President Bush is working to make a temporary law permanent. Though the Bush Administration claims that "the law will not result in domestic surveillance without a court order," that language is very mutable for whatever they would need it to fit. Also, I do not imagine that it would be hard for the US Government to draw up a court order for anything they might need. I believe that this is a good and pertinent read, especially because many people do not know about the government approved wiretapping much less the current state of it.
