And Pelosi covered her butt on NSA spying, too

Rawstory has a newly declassified letter written by Nancy Pelosi way back in Oct. 2001 expressing concerns about NSA activities and Presidential authority regarding them. Mostly redacted, so it's almost impossible to judge specifically what her concerns were, but put her on the record as having complained/questioned it, way back when.

Therefore, I am concerned whether, and to what extent, the National Security Agency has received specific presidential authorization for the operations you are conducting. Until I understand better the legal analysis regarding the sufficiency of the authority which underlies your decision on the appropriate way to proceed on this matter, I will continue to be concerned.
