Wired reports that Obama's administration is lining with Bush on supporting the
warrantless-eavesdropping program, urging the courts to drop a case against it.
Welcome to the world of reality.

So, now, distrust I've had about the Bush crowd's ability to handle eavesdropping on citizens you may now apply to President Obama's crowd.
Keith Olbermann had an interesting interview with Russell Tice of the NSA about who got spied on. I wonder who we should listen in on next.

I haven't watched the video yet and don't know whether the claim to have intentionally eavesdropped on journalists is true, but I've never bought into the claim that warrants are too much of an impediment to effective intelligence gathering. From what I understand FISA law allowed the Executive to eavesdrop three days in advance of a warrant when a warrant could not be immediately obtained. It's a sufficient provision, and I am against unaccountable eavesdropping no matter who the Executive is.

Of course, Obama wants to know who's talking about him.

That's okay. If you made it through the first paragraph then you completed the required reading.
