Calling all Congressional Representatives to return to Washington and undo the terrible damage of this weekend when the Fourth Amendment was eviscerated as Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren so ably stated it - when warrantless wiretapping was approved without judicial oversight and warants.
NOW, GET THIS, from the Washington Post:
"The Bush administration plans to leave oversight of its expanded foreign eavesdropping program to the same government officials who supervise the surveillance activities and to the intelligence personnel who carry them out, senior government officials said yesterday....
The law, which permits intercepting Americans' calls and e-mails without a warrant if the communications involve overseas transmission, gives Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell and Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales responsibility for creating the broad procedures determining whose telephone calls and e-mails are collected. It also gives McConnell and Gonzales the role of assessing compliance with those procedures."

Does it get any more bizarre or incredible than this - or terrifying for that matter?
