The Blotter: "The FBI acknowledged late Monday that it is increasingly seeking reporters' phone records in leak investigations. 'It used to be very hard and complicated to do this, but it no longer is in the Bush administration,' said a senior federal official"

You won't be surprised to learn that all of this facilitated snooping has been made possible by the Patriot Act. Indeed, history is repeating itself, but is this the McArthy era or the Nixon era?
