Most Americans are unfamiliar with "Azzam the American", a US citizen from California who is now an active member of al Qaeda and who serves as the terrorist group's spokesman. Well, thanks to the efforts of Senator Ron Wyden, this traitor who is in the highest echelons of the enemy we fight may not be wiretapped like any other terrorist leader due to his citizenship. The New York Times applauds this extension of protection to our enemies in time of war.

There were bright spots in the week. Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon managed to attach an amendment requiring a warrant to eavesdrop on American citizens abroad. That merely requires the government to show why it believes the American is in league with terrorists, but Mr. Bush threatened to veto the bill over that issue.

No doubt these same people think the deaths of American soldiers in enemy hands because of warrant requirements is hunky-dory, too.
