NSA not commenting on whether they wiretapped lawyers or not
A federal court says the National Security Agency does not need to tell lawyers whether their phones were tapped as part of the Bush administration's domestic surveillance program.

The NSA has refused to say whether it listened in on the conversations of lawyers for Guantanamo Bay detainees. They say even confirming the existence of such wiretaps would jeopardize national security.

A federal judge in New York agreed, saying the NSA can't be forced to disclose information about the program.

2. I don't need to have them admit it to know they did it.
I have no trust at all in my current government.

('Course, my knowing it in my heart does not help in a court of law.... ;) )

I would love to see the list and what legislation was being worked on by those law makers on that list.

4. That's why most of the Dems
give The Chimperor everything he wants despite him having a 23% approval rating! All their dirty little secrets, their kids' abortions, their wives' affairs and drug habits are hushed up for a price...
