"The Bush White House so strictly controlled access to its warrantless eavesdropping program that only three Justice Department lawyers were aware of the plan, which nearly ignited mass resignations and a constitutional crisis when a wider circle of administration officials began to question its legality, according to a watchdog report released today.
The unclassified summary is the first public sign of a long running investigative review of a program that provoked fierce conflict within the highest levels of the Bush administration in 2004. At the time, the Justice Department's second in command and the director of the FBI both vowed to resign if President Bush continued with electronic intelligence gathering that they believed was outside the boundaries of the law."

The ****** in office has done nothing to change the wiretapping policy. In fact it has been backburnered out of the public eye for now.
If you think the Patriot Act was an invasion of privacy, wait until the dems pass the "cyber-bullying" act that's on the table. In light of that girl who commited suicide due to cyber bullying, there is now a bill on the table to monitor ALL electronic communications domestically and arrest you or fine you for offending someone. Talk about unAmerican!
