Warrantless Domestic Spying

Spencer Ackerman and Paul Kiel get it. In their Analysis: Gonzales Testimony Part of Broader Effort to Conceal Surveillance Program they walk through the history of the issue, what Gonzales has said that has brought about the perjury accusations and what it might all mean. Ackerman follows up with a little more today.

To those of you who think "what's the difference if the government listens" today's news has your answer. Sometimes the government gets it wrong or deliberately lies and knowingly puts innocent people in jail for 30+ years. "A federal judge held the FBI "responsible for the framing of four innocent men" in a 1965 gangland murder in a landmark ruling yesterday and ordered the government to pay the men $101.7 million for the decades they spent in prison."
