Bush Administration Breaks the Law to Spy on Americans But Is Hypersensitive to Legalities for Spying on Iraqi Insurgents?

There is something really wrong with this story.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but is it possible that the Bush administration was hiding something that they didn't want the surveillance people to know about the Iraqi insurgency?

This is the only way I can see that this story makes sense.

For crying out loud--

The original FISA law generally requires court orders if the government conducts electronic surveillance on U.S. soil. It allows the attorney general to authorize surveillance in emergencies without a court order for up to 72 hours, provided the government has probable cause to believe it is eavesdropping on an agent of a foreign power.

Really, this sounds quite a bit like the insurgency was NOT "an agent of a foreign power"!!!

Meanwhile, at least we're still killing dead terrorists!
