That IWR is a real Swiss-Army-Knife-Kitchen-Magician of a piece of legislation! Now Junior is claiming the law that gave him the nod to romp around the Middle East (and that ALL THOSE DEMOCRATS SIGNED OFF ON) also gives him authority to conduct wiretaps without a warrant:
"
The administration has also contended it was authorized to order the eavesdropping under a congressional resolution to respond with all necessary force."
Let's deconstruct this..."we wiretapped
forcefully"? Nah, how about "we
forced the wiretaps on the American people"? Don't like that one either...what about "the terraists
forced us to use wiretaps, so it was
necessary..."
Bingo!
