FISA judges: Inquiring minds want to know

great... if i were in their shoes, i'd not only want to know, i'd be damn suspicious about why an end run around my scope of authority was going on...

Several judges on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court said they want to hear directly from administration officials why President Bush believed he had the authority to order, without the court's permission, wiretapping of some phone calls and e-mails after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Of serious concern to several judges is whether any information gleaned from intercepts by the National Security Agency was later used to gain their permission for wiretaps without the source being disclosed.
