NSA Director Says Retroactive Warrants Not Sought Because They Required Paperwork
“The whole key here is agility,” he said at a White House briefing before Bush’s news conference.

Perhaps the Constitution should be moved from the Washington area to a safer location (maybe Canada can hold it for us until our own government is grown up enough to know how to use it safely). Apparently no one in Washington is over 21 years old. Obviously our previous lessons about the dangers of domestic surveillance by government agencies have been forgotten.
