Court says eavesdropping program can continue.....

CHICAGO (Reuters) -The government can continue to listen in on phone calls and e-mails overseas until its appeal of a federal judge's ruling outlawing the eavesdropping program is decided, the U.S. Appeals Court in Cincinnati ruled on Wednesday.

The ruling overturned U.S. District Judge Anna Diggs Taylor's decision last week to deny a lengthy suspension of her order against the surveillance program. The case is expected to end up with the U.S. Supreme Court.

1. I just noticed this little move myself...

I guess if Osama were really dead (like he most likely is) they
couldn't pull this off.

2. A country that doesn't mind torture and indefinite detention of suspects

...isn't about to kick over a little thing like the government eavesdropping on its citizens.
