what does your reply have to do with the question as to whether the list of numbers you call belongs to you, and requires a warrant for the gov't to obtain?
The link does not seem to go to the article, can someone fix this?
The MSM is immune to history, unfortunately, as far as they know this never happened.
When I french kiss Helen Thomas...
She will blame Bush somehow...
Every single customer's personal information was logged into a government database -
Not just McVeigh's calls...
I swear, you just can't make this stuff up.
I'm sure the lamestream media will be all over this like white on rice (NOT).
You know, Dems....it's a funny thing about that darn "TRUTH" thang...it'll gettcha EVERY time!
He carried blank summons' in his brief case. If he needed info or private records he would simply issue a summons for them. He technically didn't even need to issue the Summons but some would request one for their own protection before releasing the info.
I'm racking my brain trying to remember who was president at the time.
Oh well, whoever he was...he should be impeached for this.
we'll need some freeper lawyers to comment on the 4th amendment applicability of this.
I was just going to ping you, Doug.
ping for later
*waves at Velveeta* :)
STuff happens all the time that doesn't require a warrant.
That's because only UNREASONABLE SEARCHES require a warrant.
I don't know about the legality, but I think you can be fairly certain that if George Bush obtained all the banking information from anybody who received their debit card via an ACLU program, the headline on tomorrow's NY Times would be in "Man Walks on Moon" font.
Actually just a subpeona from a judge or DA. I deal with these kind of requests on a daily basis.
Basically a list of who called who and for how long does not require a warrant. Its a good way for law enforcement to track who the terrorists make calls to and to quicly establish terrorist networks. Also call data is used to track child abductors etc.
"What will Nancy Pelosi say?"
In the words of Ralph Kramden, "Hamma hamma hamma hamma"
The NSA doesn't do wiretaps either. Not you specifically, ocean...but I wish people would stop refering to this as wiretapping. It is as different from wiretapping as is a personal search.
They are simply filtering huge numbers of data packs, looking for a pattern.
One filter may be taking flight lessons. No big deal in and of itself, but if it is combined with frequent phone calls to the ME, and the word "Jihad" is mentioned frequently, perhaps you may be in the filter mechanism, and get a closer look. Probably still nothing to get alarmed about. But those phone calls to OBL are going to get you snared.
They don't give a rats ass if you are talking on your phone about running down the street to buy an ounce of weed, and couldn't use it in court anyway.

If Dubya doesn't give notice and take the offense, the Dems will continue battering him daily non-stop for the next 3 years.
How long will the man continue being a political masochist?
