NSA Spying Case Closed

CNN has posted an article saying that the Justice Department has officially closed the case investigating the NSA Wiretap scandel, all because the NSA refused to grant security clearance (story: http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/05/10/domestic.spying.ap/index.html). This as USA Today posts that the NSA obtains records of domestic calls from phone companies such as ATT, Verizon and BellSouth (story: http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2006-05-10-nsa_x.htm).
This as the ATT civil lawsuit is being shut down by the government to prevent "leaks of national security" (post: http://www.eff.org/news/archives/2006_04.php#004613). This is a travesty that no part of the government, from the Legislature to external parties, are being halted into investigating what has been reported as unconstitutional actions. Only the press, the people who can't really do anything about actuall stopping these wiretaps, has been able to get anything. Congress, being controlled by Republicans, won't seriously do anything to protect us, even though that would be the best things for Republicans to do. Others are finding they can't get any official investigations done because of the secrecy and the cover of "national security". This needs to stop.
Hopefully, at least a few Republicans need to get a backbone and actually do the right thing here.
