Ok, I want to make sure I understand the legal issues
1) In order to listen to an incoming call into the United States, you must either have a tap on the transmitting or the receiving end. You *might* be able to intercept a satellite call if you know it's coming. 2) Since AlQaeda doesn't have a fixed address, and the chances of them grabbing a tapped phone in the middle east are pretty slim. 3) The NSA (National Security Administration) must have taps on phones in the US. 4) In order to tap a phone in the US, you *must* have a court ordered warrant, whether you are Joe Blow, beat cop in Podunk KY., the Chief of the NSA, or the POTUS 5) The POTUS and the NSA have a special court that sits around waiting to issue warrants for high clearance issues. 6) Out of the 6000 warrants requested by Bush, 180 or so have been modified and only 8 flat refused. WTF is the problem? I'm all for doing whatever it takes to defend the US, but do it within the law. Just go to your special court and get one, he's batting 98% as it sits, why skirt the law over 8 out of 6000 Scott A.
