ACLU Calls for Probe of Bush's Eavesdropping

Paul Koring writes in The Globe and Mail:

An independent prosecutor should be named to probe President George W. Bush's decision to order clandestine electronic surveillance, without court approval, of communications originating or ending in the United States, the American Civil Liberties Union said yesterday.

"This administration, like that of President Nixon, has apparently secretly adopted a legal view of the executive branch's power that is unbounded," said Caroline Fredrickson, director of the ACLU Washington legislative office.
