Anyone call BS on this yet?
In a letter to Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales wrote that a judge on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court has agreed to authorize the program and preserve "the speed and agility necessary" to battle terrorism.
Hadn't seen anything about it here.
My thoughts: Nice, they find a token judge, and get him to "oversee" the program by authorizing it and preserving it. Not exactly what the law requires, but hopefully Leahy knows that already.
