Domestic Spying Program to Get Judicial Oversight

Posted by samzenpus on from the who-watches-the-watchmen dept.

Alchemist253 writes "The U.S. Justice Department has consented to court oversight (albeit via a secret court) of the controversial domestic wiretapping program (the "Terrorist Surveillance Program") previously discussed at length on Slashdot. From the article, "[oversight] authority has been given to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and [it] already has approved one request for monitoring the communications of a person believed to be linked to al Qaeda or an associated terror group.""

    You know Jesus didn't write or say that, right?
    Sigh, probably not. Like most chritians you probably don't really know your own theology.

    Believe what you will, but at least get it right.
