Open Secret

The latest line of attack by Democrats against the president is suggesting that Bush has broken the law by approving surveillance of Americans speaking with al Qaeda associates overseas. They say he didn't "fully" inform Congress of the program, which allows wiretapping without obtaining a warrant from a judge. Bush says he told congressional leaders.

Now there will yet more be hearings. Great. Al Qaeda doesn't need a secret surveillance program to find out about ours. All they will have to do is watch CNN.
