I've been saying this for over two years. Glad to see that the press has finally caught up.

Bush and his pals fought the defunding of TIA tooth and nail back in 2003. On July 18, 2003, the Senate unanimously voted to kill it.

Remember that crazy letter that Jay Rockefeller wrote to Cheney about the surveillance program he'd been briefed on? The one he kept a copy of in a "secure" location? He wrote that after a briefing that was held on July 17, 2003.

Instead of letting it die, they shuffled it around and hid it away from prying eyes.
