The "President's Surveillance Program"

When it hits the AP....
The Bush administration authorized secret surveillance activities that still have not been made public, according to a new government report that questions the legal basis for the unprecedented anti-terrorism program....

President George W. Bush authorized other secret intelligence activities — which have yet to become public — even as he was launching the massive warrentless wiretapping program, the summary said. It describes the entire program as the "President's Surveillance Program."

The report describes the program as unprecedented and raises questions about the legal grounding used for its creation.

  • It's no surprise that there are programs that have not yet come to the public eye.

    As for supposed "legal grounds" we know President Bush and his administration officials, to be liars and do not follow the law.

  • Yeah.

    And this story seems to be unspooling even further overnight.

    Bush ordered the officials to Ashcroft's hospital bedside.

    They "inserted" a paragraph in a CIA report to justify the programs.
