pat has sent you a story from Democracy Now!, a daily independent radio and TV news program:
We speak to award-winning journalist Barton Gellman about his new book, Angler: The Cheney Vice Presidency. Gellman reveals Cheney played a crucial role in maintaining warrantless spying even after Justice Department officials began to doubt its legality in 2004. Gellman writes: "The history of the Bush administration cannot be written without close attention to the moments when Cheney took the helm—sometimes at Bush's direction, sometimes with his tacit consent, and sometimes without the president's apparent awareness."

So, Cheney created the warrantless spying & never bothered to even inform Bush. Somehow, not too surprising, but good to know.
