Judge Orders White House To Produce Wiretap Memos

sv_libertarian sends this excerpt from the Associated Press: "A judge has ordered the Justice Department to produce White House memos that provide the legal basis for the Bush administration's post-Sept. 11 warrantless wiretapping program. US District Judge Henry Kennedy Jr. signed an order (PDF) Friday requiring the department to produce the memos by the White House legal counsel's office by Nov. 17. He said he will review the memos in private to determine if any information can be released publicly without violating attorney-client privilege or jeopardizing national security. Kennedy issued his order in response to lawsuits by civil liberties groups in 2005 after news reports disclosed the wiretapping."

Your side would cave in like it does to every other insurgency on the planet. You caved to the likes of the Weather Underground and the Nation of Islam in the 1960s, you tried to cave into the Bader Meinhoff in the 1970s, you caved to the IRA and the PLO under Clinton, and begged to cave into Al Sadr and Al Qaeda in Iraq...
So given the groups you identify with, you have the audacity to call wanting the government to be subject to the same laws as the people "treason"?
What a dirty, cowardly little nazi piece of shit you are.
