Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the momentous-events dept.

Tyler Too writes "Is there more to last week's story about President Bush authorizing wiretaps without court review? Ars Technica writes about what's going on behind the curtains with the National Security Agency's technology: 'When the truth comes out (if it ever does), this NSA wiretapping story will almost certainly be a story not just about the Constitutional concept of the separation of powers, but about high technology.'"

    Implying a moral equivelence to the USSR simply betrays your political bias. Millions upon millions died for the crime of opposing political leaders. You post trolls that would have landed you somewhere in the middle of siberia with no food and a bunk mate named Sergy.

    By the way did you RTFA? Do you know what a soft trigger is? Did you know that Clinton, Reagan and Carter all excercised the exact same authority? Did you know that a federal court declared it legal in 2002? If not, why are you posting. If so, why are you posting?
