Kerry Howley opens her mail and wonders what the FBI's latest mash note is doing in there.
Warren's working for the FBI now?
I keed! I keed!
Seriously, can anybody explain why it would compromise our national security to ask a judge for a warrant when the FBI needs information?

The way some judges just rubber-stamp any proposed warrant that comes within reach, I'm not sure even that would help, mr. thoreau.
What we need is for judges to have some power to oversee the searches they authorize. Judges have too much of an ability to keep their hands clean from the stains their actions can cause. That way, they can see who bullshits them and who doesn't. Another idea: any refusal to grant a search warrant immediately becomes public information. It would make those shady unnamed informants lose their undue influence on a process that has enough abuse. If the government is going to intrude into someone's personal life, space, or records, it should be for a damn good reason.

Only in government could the solution for finding a needle in a haystack be to add exponentially more hay.

If the citizens of this country cared, we'd all order information on explosives via mail.

As the report limns the banality of error...
Three weeks ago, that word (the under voweled one) was unknown to me. Now it seems to be popping up all over.
