This is one of those "fine line" issues. The NSA and CIA basically have carte-blanche about who they tap/spy on provided they are non-US citizens residing outside the US. Which has been interpreted to mean they can tap incoming calls to the US.
What they were not allowed to do, and they have been doing, is tapping calls made in the US without a warrant. The first scenario I disagree with as well, but it's been upheld by the courts. The second scenario bypasses the courts altogether. --Ben Scott Stewart wrote: > I guess the major disconnect I have with this is that the NSA has been doing > this lawfully for decades, since their inception in 1949.
