Secret Wiretaps Catapulted Out of the Bushbaby Playpen

The US Attorney General Gonzales yesterday revealed to Senate Judiciary Committee leaders that, "the president has determined not to reauthorize the Terrorist Surveillance Program when the current authorization expires." This letter preceded his appearance before that committee by one day, was one week after the court decision rendering it necessary, and still leaves questions wide open about the illegality of the procedure up to now.
Good news, when finally the top law enforcement official in the US decides to abide by the constitution (and drags his bushbaby boss into compliance behind him).
Follow this link to read the letter from Gonzales, and this one to get some background from The Nation.
