Report: Bush Program Extended Beyond Wiretapping

Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
Well, I guess this was bound to come out sooner or later....

From the article:

WASHINGTON — 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.

It's unclear how much valuable intelligence was yielded by the surveillance program started after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, according to the unclassified summary of reports by five inspectors general. The reports mandated by Congress last year were delivered to lawmakers Friday.

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."

Not since Nixon have we had a president who has showed more contempt and disdain for the constitution than George W. Bush.
