Bush agrees to submit NSA wiretaps to FISA courts .

This is a misleading title. More phony "redmeat" genneration for the nonthinking class.

The legislation would authorize the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to review the constitutionality of the National Security Agency's most high-profile monitoring operations

Reviewing the constitutionality of the program and having the FISA court approve each and every wiretap are two very different things. If the FISA court says the "program" is constitutional, then Bush has brilliantly shut the mouths of the critics.

OK, and when FISA refuses to grant blanket constitutional authority for them - then what? then where are we? try and think a couple of moves ahead.

I thought the court already approved it.
