Must Read Post on Bush's Violation of FISA
Via Atrios, by Glenn Greenwald at Unclaimed Territory. I haven't gone through the argument in detail, so I don't know whether it's sound, but Greenwald lays it out clearly. Apparently the Rightosphere echo chamber is wallowing in an argument for the conclusion that Bush didn't violate FISA, but that argument is, according to Greenwald, based on a (he believes deliberate) misreading of FISA. Influential right-blogs like Instapundit that initially endorsed the misreading in question have retracted their endorsements in light of Greenwald's analysis.

The Cold Fury poster seems like an ok guy to me - he comments at Balloon Juice, where I often hang out. I suspect he's just another guy who wants his party to be the good guys and got confused.
I don't see any evidence of Glenn retracting anything, unless saying, Barbie-like, "FISA law is hard" counts.
azael, he has a subsequent post up. He has a riposte in Greenwald's comments. Due diligence even for the wrongheaded.
