I agree with John's point of fact that we don't have accounts from non-Bush sources about FISA's efficacy. It might put the Bush crowd in a bad light to say so, but the fact stands on its own unless you can shed more light with other accounts. As for not going to Congress because they would weaken FISA, they wouldn't dare in the current climate. They just want to have their role acknowledged in the process. Suppose they write a bad new FISA bill and Bush vetoes it ahead of the midterm elections - major political damage. Bush should take up Pat Leahy on his offer to get a FISA system that works just the way Bush wants it to. Of course, he should have done that four years ago so I don't hold out much hope now. It is just not his style.
