From today's Washington Post:
A report by Congress's research arm concluded yesterday that the administration's justification for the warrantless eavesdropping authorized by President Bush conflicts with existing law and hinges on weak legal arguments.
I was going to let it go at that until I saw this:
The findings, the first nonpartisan assessment of the program's legality to date, prompted Democratic lawmakers and civil liberties advocates to repeat calls yesterday for Congress to conduct hearings on the monitoring program and attempt to halt it.
Are you kidding me? If by nonpartisan you mean ostensibly Republican controlled, then yes, it's the first. Where the hell has this paper been? And how the hell have they forgotten who John Dean is? I guess it took one of their Republican overseers to land the first blow before being courageous enough to hint at the truth.
