As we speak, the administration is putting on the full-court press on who leaked the news about the NSA's policy on domestic eavesdropping. Basically, they're searching for the whistle-blower(s); those who report laws being broken. MHO, the administration has their priorities sorta screwed.
Reportedly, getting a court order to eavesdrop is not a big deal, even after the fact. That they chose to ignore the process shows a total lack of concern for the law. I expect both sides of Congress will have something to say about this.

Wait until some of these
armchair generals find out the gun confiscation provisions and the turn over of BATF forms from gun dealers to the FBI database, now used for the National Instant Check System. Maybe they don't care, after all,
we (meaning young 20-something surrogates) are at war.
