"Leahy: Does the law let the president authorize the opening of USA mail? "

I think was just trying to help the terrorists find an alternative means of communication. Of course the AG does not want to talk in open hearings about what means of communication are being monitored. That being said, it appears that the AG was trying to say first class mail is not part of this program.
