Justice Department To Review Domestic Spying

orgelspieler writes, "According to the New York Times, Justice Department Inspector General Glenn Fine has opened a review of his department's role in the domestic spying program. Democrats (and some Republicans) have been requesting an all-out investigation into the legality of the so-called 'Terrorist Surveillance Program' since it was made public. But this new inquiry stops short of evaluating the constitutional legitimacy of the program." From the article: "The review, Mr. Fine said in his letter, will examine the controls in place at the Justice Department for the eavesdropping, the way information developed from it was used, and the department's 'compliance with legal requirements governing the program'... Several Democrats suggested that the timing of his review might be tied to their takeover of Congress in this month's midterm elections as a way to preempt expected Democratic investigations of the N.S.A. program."

Re:What the Program Actually Is

Just reposting this, because the moonbats with mod points decided to mod me down. (Are we surprised? Nope.)

You are correct sir.

Unfortunately, /. is infested with many of the same moonbat types that think that the Bush Administration actually planned 9/11 in conjuction with the Eeeevil Jews to implicate innocent Muslims so they could take over the Iraqi Oilfields, and then grant exclusive oil-rights to Haliburton while making obscene profits on the backs of "working class" Americans and randomly shooting people while going hunting!

So yeah, be prepared to be modded down and modded down hard. There isn't room for anything outside the /. groupthink.
