The Spectacle Blog
In today’s column, I note in a parenthetical that “Liberal writers routinely state flatly that the program was illegal, as if this were a simple fact rather than a deduction from speculation about how the program actually worked.” Perhaps that should have read “Liberal writers, and Bob Barr, routinely state flatly…”
If Congressman Barr would explain how exactly he can be sure, without knowing the technical details, that the program in question is covered under FISA or otherwise “in violation of a federal law,” I’d be most interested.
