I seem to remember a time when you had to have some sort of evidence to slap a wiretap on.........instead of the 'heebie jeebies'
I'll throw my two cents in...

The report found that the authorities made little effort to distinguish real terrorist suspects from those who became ensnared by chance in the investigation. Many suspects were jailed for months, often without being formally charged or given access to lawyers, and some inmates in Brooklyn were physically and verbally abused before they were cleared of any terrorist ties, the report said.

I'm sure these guys were happy to suspend their citizen rights to get yelled at and beaten because they
might have been a
terrorist

The congressman asked Ashcroft whether he planned to appoint an outside counsel to investigate the allegations further, but the attorney general responded, "I have no plan at this time to employ a special counsel in this matter."

Of course not
It seems funny to me that the department who is being charged is the same department that gets to decide whether there is an investigation or not.
Sure the counsel is supposed to be independent, but whats the motivation for sicking the dogs on your own ass?
