Goodbye, Greenspan

Sunday, June 29,2008 5:56 p.m.

But he weathered the storm and its initial fury, only to make it to a point in the time line of the scandal relatively tame in comparison to what preceded it.

A useless sacrifice

Thursday, June 26,2008 3:31 p.m.

If it’s true that those who give up liberty for security deserve neither, then a great deal of Congress is operating on borrowed freedom. It was they who, last week, overwhelmingly approved vast changes to the government’s wiretapping protocol, expanding their ability to spy both domestically and internationally. Perhaps the piece de resistance is a provision that allows the government to conduct a weeklong wiretap without obtaining a warrant if it is deemed “that important national security information would otherwise be lost.”  VIDEO:  IDS Opinion: Wiretapping
