FISA Judge quits over concerns about Bush spying operation



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

The scandal surrounding Bush's criminal spying program continues to expand and the credibility of the Bush Administration continues to disintegrate:

U.S. District Judge James Robertson, one of 11 members of the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, sent a letter to Chief Justice John D. Roberts Jr. late Monday notifying him of his resignation without providing an explanation.

Two associates familiar with his decision said yesterday that Robertson privately expressed deep concern that the warrantless surveillance program authorized by the president in 2001 was legally questionable and may have tainted the FISA court's work.
