Bush administration pulls back on surveillance agreement

Another depressing report highlighting the death of due process:

Senior U.S. administration officials have told the U.S. Congress that they could not promise that the Bush administration would fulfill its January pledge to continue to seek warrants from a secret court for a domestic wiretapping program.

Rather, they argued that the president had the constitutional authority to decide for himself whether to conduct surveillance without warrants.

So, no one oversees the President's actions and he can do what he wants? Sounds like the creation of a dictatorship.

You may not be on the wiretap list today, but you don't know what the future holds.
