More about warrants

Glenn Greenwald has his view of the Bush decision to (maybe) (with his fingers crossed behind his back) end the NSA program to snoop on U.S. citizens. It pretty much agrees with mine:

There is no repentance here, nor (more importantly) is there any rescission of their claimed powers of lawbreaking. Quite the contrary. Gonazles' letter affirms, as one would expect, their belief that they were legally entitled to violate this law. That means (a) that they can violate it again at any future point when they want to, (b) they can violate other laws under the same theories, and (c) whatever other lawbreaking is already occurring as a result of those theories is not going to stop.
