Letter from Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) to Vice President Cheney regarding NSA domestic wiretapping, July 17th 2003.

Bush's Congressional oversight concerning whatever the hell the NSA has been up to included breifing Rockefeller, who just leaked this memo (which was obviously kept around as an insurance policy in the event this went public). Unlike other observers, I'm not at all suprised that this stuff was both technically and legally over his head. I could build some really bad ass snooping tools if I had an unlimited budget, and all this stuff about Article II and the AUFM is about as clear as mud.
