Bush ♥ spying

TPM has a must read today that is just that.
they analyze today's WSJ article on BushCo.'s
warrantless wiretapping program. here's a snippet:

"into the NSA's massive database goes data collected by the Justice Department, Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Treasury. This information includes data about email (recipient and sender address, subject, time sent), internet searches (sites visited and searches conducted), phone calls (incoming and outgoing numbers, length of call, location), financial information (wire transfers, credit-card use, information about bank accounts), and information from the DHS about airline passengers."

'Here's an example: If the feds suspect there's a terrorist in Detroit, "the government's spy systems may be directed to collect and analyze all electronic communications into and out of the city."'


so much for that pesky 4th amendment.
