...program has always used the "probable cause" standard even when a FISA warrant hadn't been obtained. But that explanation doesn't hold water with some legal experts. Last week, General Hayden himself admitted that in cases where the NSA does not first go to the courts, "the trigger is quicker and a bit softer than it is for a FISA warrant." Putting it more bluntly, Philip B. Heymann, a former Clinton Administration deputy attorney general, says, "The only reason they are doing warrantless searches is because they want to do them on considerably less basis than probable cause...
...after the break and didn’t attempt another shot until missing a layup with less than nine minutes remaining. But when a three pointer by Brown center Mark McDonald pulled the Bears back within 15, Goffredo knew he needed to step up.

As Israel's Foreign Minister, he refused to shake Yasser Arafat's hand at the Wye Plantation peace talks in 1998 and eventually made sure Arafat spent his last years barricaded in his offices in Ramallah, unable to jet around the world espousing the Palestinian cause. His planetary dimensions?...
...feedback loop is dominated by fear?fear of failure, fear of disappointing teammates, fear of being unworthy?the circuit starts to resemble the classic fight-or-flight response. In the perform-or-perish version, anxious thoughts trigger the release of adrenaline, the hormone that sets the heart racing, primes the muscles to run and puts all the senses on alert. The eyes slip into tunnel vision?the last thing a quarter-back needs when he's relying on peripheral perception to spot a waiting receiver...
