I don't remember emails being talked about.

Bush won't reauthorize U.S. eavesdropping program

"The president has determined not to reauthorize the Terrorist Surveillance Program when the current authorization expires," Gonzales wrote in a letter to congressional leaders that disclosed the administration's shift in approach.

[...] The program, adopted after the September 11 attacks, allowed the government to eavesdrop on the international phone calls and e-mails of U.S. citizens without a warrant, if those wiretaps were made to track suspected al Qaeda operatives.

[...] Gonzales' letter came the day before he was scheduled to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee, where the Democrats now in power were expected to question him closely about the program.

Which eavesdropping? The wiretaps? The web traffic? Paper mail? No-knock searches, cell phones, bank records? Ground-penetrating radar on fake Fuji blimps? I'm curious.

Calls and emails. I'll add more from the article.

Yeah, I see that in the article, but what I'm wondering is if the "Terrorist Surveilance Program" includes all those things or just the emails and phone calls mentioned in the article. Are the bank records part of a different program?

[novapsyche.livejournal.com]

That's a different program, IIRC.

I remember emails being involved.

I wonder if they track LJ comments.
