"So you are okay with warrantless wiretaps?
I'm not."
Not only am I OK with the surveilance, I'd be outraged if we weren't doing them. We've been doing this for years {pre-dates Bush}. Don't be naive about what the NSA is doing and has done for decades. It's become a big deal because GWB is doing it.
Of course we should be monitoring terrorists overseas and here. When it comes to US citizens, get a warrant.
