Its quite amazing to watch Administration officials flop around on the question of where the President derived the authority to secretly authorize wiretaps on American citizens.  On Sunday it was Condi's turn and she proved that indeed she isn't a lawyer.  Unfortunately, I'm not sure if the Attorney General will be able to clear things up seeing as several people have already noted that he either lied or obfuscated at his confirmation hearings when asked directly if the President could ignore statutes and authorize violations of the criminal law.
