How can the Rats say they support the troops when they don't even want calls monitored from Iraq AQ to America that may show where the next attacks on our soldiers will occur? Or calls from Iran, where a lot of the planning is going on.
No one is saying that we should not be listening in on suspected Al-Queda conversations.
Some people - including many conservatives and Republicans - are saying that we should be getting warrants to do so as the FISA law requires.
No one has said that.
We have the technology to do it and would be foolish not to do so.
They probably know the ip address of EVERY Freeper since we're kind of on the far right fring.
They hate Bush more than they love America or her military.
Sweet baby.
How dare the President act using his Constitutional authority as commander in chief?!?! The AG laid out in his testimony why FISA does not work in all circumstances and where the President is following the law in his approach. The Dems are pushing terrorist rights ahead of our national security.
Man that creeps me out!
The key is = TIME
You cannot waste 72 hours dealing with a court and a judge who may possibly tell you NO! (because politically he doesn't agree with you). You have found a cell phone on the battlefield - it contains phone numbers in the USA - the moment those number are triggered - BY A COMPUTER - the computer starts listening for key words (we don't know what those words are - and neither does the enemy). When those words are triggered - the wire tapping begins.
At the time those words have triggered the computer to start wire tapping - you cannot WAIT 72 HOURS for some court to tell you - Yes, you can listen to the enemy who is calling here to set up attacks aginst your country. If you wait 72 hours - THE CONVERSATION IS OVER AND ANY INFORMATION YOU MAY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET ABOUT AN ATTACK IS LOST.
You're naive or just plain ignorant if you cannot see the difference between this NSA program and the FISA court.
THIS IS NOT DOMESTIC SPYING. The dems know that - but they hate Bush more than they hate the terrorists.
LOL - I remember that 'touchy-feely' show when sKerry named Edwards. Apparently F'n is a major ass-grabber.
Bull puckey...it's been questioned ONLY by those that have an agenda.
YOU ARE WRONG - it is not EVERY - it's only those phones where there is a suspected TERRORIST CONNECTION.
NSA cannot be bothered to listen to you calling your Aunt Mable - unless she belongs to a terrorist group!
Grow up!!
No one has said what?
The rats don't want calls monitored from AQ overseas to Americans. Have you not heard them say that?
And I'd bet money some of those calls from Iraq or Iran AQ to America detail the next level of attacks against our troops.
So how can the leftists say they support the troops but aren't willing to do everything possible to find out what the enemy is planning to do to our troops?
What crap....... Warrantless searches are necessary because of time restraints under FISA.
Given your ignorance (the existing legal system allows monitoring to begin immediately and be authorized retroactively for precisely that reason), no one should pay any attention to your blitherings on the subject.
Not true. The law requires that you get a warrant up to 72 hours after you started the wiretap. So there is really no excuse.
Because I just tranmitted the words "W88 Thermonuclear Device Active" they will pick up this email transmission.
You can start listening in on conversations and you have 72 hours AFTER you have started listening in to get the warrant.
