...program might include a vast data mining effort, Bush sought to portray it as limited. "I repeat to you, even though you hear words, 'domestic spying,' these are not phone calls within the United States," he said. "It's a phone call of an al Qaeda, known al Qaeda suspect, making a phone call into the United States. I'm mindful of your civil liberties, and so I had all kinds of lawyers review the process." In fact, as Bush had said moments before, the program also includes calls that originate in the United States, if one party...
...piggledy complex of tired-looking trailers parked alongside grain silos and stock pens, four white-coated scientists are investigating crimes with the tools of 21st century forensics. They're testing hairs found on a blanket wrapped around a victim of rape and murder, trying to match them to a suspect's dog. They're analyzing the DNA of two Pekingese killed during a robbery to determine if a suspect was at the scene of the crime. They're looking for a match between stray hairs left at a murder scene and DNA taken from the suspect...

In a 2001 sexual-abuse case, a 14-year-old mentally handicapped boy told police he had been molested by a man who was licked by his dog during the act. Scientists tested DNA taken from the suspect's skin and found the dog's saliva exactly where the boy had said it would be. The molester pled guilty and got three years in federal prison...
...forgo any use of torture and simply allow the preventable terrorist act to occur." But he acknowledged that such an approach would provoke "a great outcry in any democracy," and that in such a scenario, the United States probably would find a way to facilitate the torture of the suspect. He writes: "The real issue, therefore, is not whether some torture would or would not be used in the ticking bomb case -- it would. The question is whether it would be done openly, pursuant to a previously established legal procedure, or whether it would be done secretly, in violation...
