White House Surveillance Reversal

By Anthony | January 18th, 2007 | 12:55 am

The Bush Administration takes a step away from the edge:

Reversing a position it defended for more than a year, the Bush administration announced Wednesday that it has begun getting court approval before eavesdropping on the communications of suspected terrorists or their associates.

If I were cynical, I would think this had something to do with a Democratic-controlled Congress. It’s amazing how all this time, the Bush administration has been saying that warrants weren’t needed – in fact, it was necessary to forego warrants to protect our country. Now, suddenly, it seems that our laws regarding warrants aren’t too restrictive after all.

Between his apparent reversal on global warming, his recent admission that Iraq had no WMDs, and now this, it sounds like Bush himself has a bad case of BDS.
