U.S. Governement to Wire-Tap Internet?

Allegedly to track criminals and cyber-communications. A good idea, I suppose, but wasn't this against the constitution and illegal and a part of Bush's attempt at a "New World Order" just two or three short years ago? Isn't this "domestic spying?"
Media? Nothing to say? Brian Williams? Ms. Couric? Democrats? No? Oh right, it's Obama in the White House now. Nothin to see here. Moving on.
