White House asked DOJ how Bush could sidestep Fourth Amendment

Last week, the Pentagon declassified an 81-page memorandum John Yoo, a former deputy in the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel, drafted in March 2003 that authorized military interrogators to use brutal techniques to obtain information about terrorist plans from prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The memo was publicly released as part of the American Civil Liberties Union's Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Pentagon.
