Paraphrasing the Attorney General

QUESTION: Where did you get the authority to do this monitoring without court permission?

ANSWER: Congress gave it to us when they authorized the war in Afghanistan.

QUESTION: Why didn't you ask Congress to adjust the law so that getting court permission for the monitoring would be easier?

ANSWER: We were told that Congress would have said no.

To quote Kos, "Wow."
