So, it turns out that the Bush Administration can’t be bothered to read the mail of convicted and imprisioned terrorists.   It seems that, among other examples:

Three terrorists imprisoned in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing were able to send more than 90 letters to alleged terrorists overseas because U.S. prison officials do not screen all correspondence from the most dangerous inmates as required, according to a report released yesterday.

That’s right, while the Administration and its enablers are howling about the essential importance of listening to your conversations without a warrant, torturing using enhanced interrogation techniques on anyone it feels like, and building backdoors into every communication system it can think of, they haven’t gotten around to covering the basics.
