The New York Times reports Federal Judge Finds N.S.A.

It will be good to shed some light in the dark areas in this case.
The whole thing has highlighted for me that some topics are not left or right ideologically. We decried Bush's use of these wiretaps and then when the Obama administration came in they wanted to continue them and defend them. That agreement between "opposites" is the surest sign that this power must be curtailed and regulated as it was supposed to be with FISA. Perhaps even that isn't enough.
