RE: It was posted here a washington times story on bush who ordered one without FISA in 2006

It is said that a law, even with the best intentions (in this case to protect the country ), can be abused.

We call this unintended consequences.

The intent was to give the President the power to act quickly to stave off any possible terrorist attacks without handicapping him with too much procedure and paper work so that he can act quickly.

That power can be misused however. In this case to torment a political opponent.
