FBI refuses to pay phone bills

Welcome to another exciting episode of 'Wingnuts Versus Wingnuts'!

You know how Bush has been illegally spying on people's phone conversations and got caught with his Rainbow Brite Underoos down around his ankles doing so? Well, now phone companies have been cutting off the FBI's phone service it needs to conduct these efforts, because the FBI hasn't been paying its phone bills. Over half of the nearly 1,000 bills at 5 FBI field offices weren't paid on time.

A Justice Department audit also found that the FBI had such weak oversight over the money used for the program that an agent was able to steal $25,000 costly dollars from it.

So now the phone companies aren't letting the Bush regime illegally eavesdrop on domestic phone calls without a warrant anymore, because the government won't even pay its own bills? Oh, the irony!
