And the results are kept secret as well, of course. but it is kinda a > stretch to suggest that there is any kind of secret concerning > the CONTENT of the FISA law. It wouldn't just be a stretch, it would be flat-out incorrect. MDixon's tale about OBL's satellite phone, even if it were true, which it isn't, would be a complete non sequitur > I believe that the judge's > identities are secret also, BTW. Uh-oh. Now, *that* might be a problem. MDixon claims folks don't *trust* the FISA judges, fearing they're so liberal they'll quash legitimate requests for wiretapping warrants. And if their identities are kept secret, it means Bush could sneak in a batch of super-liberal judges without anyone finding out! Boy, no *wonder* people are suspicious.
