The American Spectator : The Spectacle Blog : DOJ Monitored Associated Press Phone Calls
Again, nothing about wiretapping. From what I understand, the Justice Department wanted to review phone records to see if any calls were made to or from the AP by any inside government source or phone related to the leak of information about a planned terrorist plot that was stopped. They aren't trying to listen in on actual calls now, just the phone records. The police do this all the time in criminal investigations - the twist here is that the press is considered above such actions constitutionally.
