Leahy: 'Time is up' for White House to produce surveillance opinions - CNN.com
Topic: Politics and Law 9:05 pm EDT, Aug 20, 2007

Will we ever get closure on this issue?

No one is surprised that the NSA is listening to phone calls, but the surprise is that it is occurring on our own soil...

The program was kept secret from all but a handful of lawmakers until its existence was disclosed in 2005. Critics -- including the committee's ranking Republican, Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania -- say it violates the Watergate-era federal law that requires a federal judge to approve electronic surveillance.

As a former military intel analyst, I'm all about keeping secrets secret, but this strays way too far into the "watergate"'esque area of illegal wiretapping. I'm old enough to remember Nixon leaving office... is it time again?
