Treasure Trove

OK, so maybe, unlike me, you don't want to spend a leisurely few hours on a lazy Sunday catching up on the NSA wiretapping issue, learning what your government is saying about what it is doing, and why that is a bunch of Bush-wa. But if you did, you'd be well served to start with this post from the admirable ReddHedd at Firedoglake.

It's an excellent summary of the most recent developments, well-linked to reading that will give you a full appreciation of the activities of our Man Who Would Be King and his minions. And, in the spirit of a picture being worth a thousand words, the post captures the essence of the administration's attitude toward the rule of law.

Looks like I can take the day off!
