The Administration's new FISA defense is factually false
Glenn Greenwald notes, Gen Hayden's excuse for the Administration bypassing getting FISA warrants "is because the 'probable cause' standard for obtaining a FISA warrant was too onerous (and prevented them from obtaining warrants they needed to eavesdrop)".
Well, that's obviously bullshit, as Greenwald points out, since the Administration, when previously offered a chance to change that very standard, said "oh, no, we're fine."
