**UPDATE: August 29, 2006:
I simply can't keep up with the various news stories and blogs on this subject any longer. I'm posting the links about the recent court opinion ruling the wiretapping program unconstitutional, and then this post will no longer be updated:

**END UPDATE AUGUST 29, 2006**

Since this seems to be one of the biggest stories right now, I'm going to post links to all of the stories I've seen on the wire-tapping story in this post. And I'll just keep updating this post as I see more. Each time I update, I'll put **NEW** next to new entries and remove any such tags on older entries.

Because there are, obviously, far too many blog posts on this topic for me to actually find, read, and post links to each of them, I'm adding a couple of links to search results for such blog posts. I'll post links to specific entries that I have seen, read, and found useful. Otherwise, you can view the search results and sort through some more on your own.
