In 2005, The New York Times revealed that the National Security Agency had
initiated wiretaps and other forms of surveillance without court orders. It
was a story the Bush administration hoped to keep under wraps, says Eric
Lichtblau, one of the two reporters who pushed for the publication of the
story.

Lichtblau's new book, Bush's Law: The Remaking of American Justice, details
how the administration used the "war on terror" to push for controversial
surveillance programs.

Lichtblau is a Washington correspondent for The New York Times. In 2006, he
won a Pulitzer Prize for his coverage of domestic spying.
