The DOJ pursues the "real criminal" in the NSA spying scandal

While the high-level lawbreakers are protected from consequences by our political class, only the courageous whistle-blower is subject to criminal prosecution.

    OT or not OT, you decide

    India today released its "dossier of evidence" on the Mumbai terror attacks, as part of having handed them over to Pakistani Security. The Hindu has them available online as PDFs (I am having trouble with the downloads, traffic may be high).

    http://www.hindu.com/nic/dossier.htm

    The reason why this isn't really OT is because one factor in the tracing of the cell phone calls between "mentors" and terrorists in the Taj Tower and Palace Hotel, according to the person from The Hindu interviewed by NPR All Things Considered, was NSA monitoring of VoIP calls in New Jersey, and connecting them to payments made in Pakistan.

    Let's hope those taps were done with warrants and FISA court involvement. Otherwise, they represent a success story for lawless Bush Administration government and out of control surveillance. Sorry to bear confusing news.
