#1 "No communications are intercepted unless first it is determined that one end of the call is outside of the country, and professional intelligence experts have probable cause [that is, 'reasonable grounds to believe'] that a part to the communication is a member or agent of al-Qaeda or an affiliated terrorist organisation."

I'm not a lawyer, but I believe 'probable cause' and 'reasonable grounds' are not the same thing. The 'probable cause' used in law enforcement requires a higher threshold of proof, making it unlikely the judge would grant a FISA warrant for the NSA program. I can't figure out what the problem is if you don't associate with terrorists, unless we have some very nervous traitorous Senators worried about what he Bush Administration may have inadvertently uncovered....

#2 The Hypocrisy and Stupidity Quotients exceed 1.0.

A reckoning is coming, for this and the many other examples of overt sedition and abuse of privilege by the MSM. You do not get a pass and you are not above the law, Pinchy. Puhleeze make it so ASAP, Bush / Gonzalez, before they give away everything, every advantage, we have. And make it hurt. Bad.

#3 Let them "win" on this issue, and the F'ing Dems, triangulating Pubs, and the evil-whose-name-must-not-be-spoken (MSM) will out every National Security Program that protects this nation until they finally "get their man".

Send a few scum bags to jail for treasonous disclosure of these programs, and the braying hounds will finally get the message.

Hang 'em high, hang 'em often.
