"The US Supreme Court has dismissed a legal challenge to a domestic anti-terrorism eavesdropping programme. President George W Bush authorised the monitoring, without a court order, of international phone calls and e-mails of US citizens after the 9/11 attacks.
The American Civil Liberties Union argued that Mr Bush did not have the constitutional authority to order the programme, which ended last year.
The Supreme Court gave no explanation for its ruling.
The Bush administration has so far refused to release documents about the programme that might reveal who was under surveillance."The US has become what it used to fight - a USSR but with infinitely more advanced citizen surveillance technology. The infamous underground supercomputer in Langley already processes ALL the E-mails in the world going via US Internet hubs.
