MORE GLENN GREENWALD ON THE NSA

(Via Atrios)

Posting at his blog Unclaimed Territory, Greenwald has discovered that the Bush regime DOJ rejected a weakening of FISA restrictions in the summer of '02 because it was worried that lowering the threshold for a warrant on non-U.S. citizens in America from probable cause to reasonable suspicion would be unconstitutional. This clearly shows that there is a serious legal problem with doing the same on U.S. citizens.

Knight-Ridder picks up on this, along with the WaPo and the LA Times.
