In article .com, G.W. says...

You've just given up your rights under the fourth amendment, and you
didn't even know it.

Well, of course nobody wants the government "spying" on them

This is exactly what's going on. The NSA has unbelieveable power
to intercept and inspect phone traffic like that.

but I'd
dare say that if we had another major Al Qaida attack and it was found
that the government was purposely Not monitoring communication of
overseas calls with Al Qaida suspects, there would be another round of
calls for impeachment.

That's what I don't *get*. There is a secret court that has been
set up for many years, their only purpose in life is to provide
WARRANTS for these taps inside of 72 hours whenever the administration
wants them. Yet they were not using that court to obtain warrants,
when they could have.

Your objection is covered by the already existing system to provide
warrants as needed.
