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."

Of course, but if you had a libertarian executive, we could all just move into wood shacks with our guns and forget this whole economy and globalization thing.

Your irrational fear is palpable in your post, it would be amusing if it wasnt sad. Now switch off your computer and go back to watching FOX news, and let the adults talk in peace.
