Former Clinton Associate AG Refutes NYT
From my hometown newspaper the Chicago Tribune:
President had legal authority to OK taps
By John Schmidt
Published December 21, 2005
"President Bush's post- Sept. 11, 2001, authorization to the National Security Agency to carry out electronic surveillance into private phone calls and e-mails is consistent with court decisions and with the positions of the Justice Department under prior presidents."
This can't help the left at all :-)
Still waiting for the Wilson party to pick up the white courtesy phone...

It really does boil down to this: if what Bush authorized was legally established by precedent and permissible by law, apparently a 'yes' on both counts, all the fuss is a giant smokescreen. Meantime, national security has taken a real hit. Head(s) should roll. Alice Kittredge
