25. Report details
Basically what is being reported is that after 9/11 administration lawyers argued that the same "legal" justification for warrantless wiretapping also extended to warrantless physical searches! There was apparently some objections from the FBI. A lawyer for a suspected terrorist alleges that his (not his clients) home was searched without a warrant.

We really need to kick this up and start demanding for a full congressional investigation into this whole affair. KO made the statement that if there was a prequel to Orwell's 1984, this is exactly how it would start! Jonathan Turley made the observation that if the Constitution continues to be chipped away in pursuit of "victory" in the "war on terror", there won't be anything left at the end but the "victory". Great observation - need to get that on t-shirts & bumperstickers!
