Two articles I read this morning that are very interesting:

NY Times: F.B.I. Watched Activist Groups, New Files Show:

The latest batch of documents, parts of which the A.C.L.U. plans to release publicly on Tuesday, totals more than 2,300 pages and centers on references in internal files to a handful of groups, including PETA, the environmental group Greenpeace and the Catholic Workers group, which promotes antipoverty efforts and social causes.

Newsweek: Bush's Snoopgate

The president was so desperate to kill The New York Times’ eavesdropping story, he summoned the paper’s editor and publisher to the Oval Office. But it wasn’t just out of concern about national security.

Daily Show-esque follow up to the above:
An unconfirmed source said that the CIA also bugged the Oval Office. If you play one of the tapes, you can hear Bush say repeatedly, 'It's good to be the king.'

And the hits just keep on coming...

While our gallant homeland defense operatives are out questioning literature buffs, several HUNDRED POUNDS of C-4 weapons grade Explosives were stolen from an UNGARDED and UNMONITORED storage facility.

Oh yea.
