Too much trouble

Why did Bush break the law? By their own admission, because obeying it was just too damned much trouble.

"The whole key here is agility," he said at a White House briefing before Bush's news conference. According to Hayden, most warrantless surveillance conducted under Bush's authorization lasts just days or weeks, and requires only the approval of a shift supervisor. Hayden said getting retroactive court approval is inefficient because it "involves marshaling arguments" and "looping paperwork around."


"It's sooooo boring having to explain my reasons and fill out forms! I want to go out and play instead!"
