I just can't take as much for granted as you can. Our record in judging who is and who is not a terrorist ain't all that impressive. If they're known, get a warrant and do it the right way.

bah, its really quite simple.......

"does he have a pulse?"

"yes"

"alright, he might be a terrorist, better put surveillance on his phone calls"

From what I've read, it comes back to a specific captured terrorist cell phone. I posted this earlier. They have a listing of phone numbers called from that cell phone. Any call coming in from overseas from one of those numbers was monitored.

Perhaps I should have....used something other than "known terrorists". I'll say associate of a known terrorist.

I would like to believe that is true, but can't really know, as I don't have the clearance any more, and even if I did, would not fall under my "need to know"

Which is why I think that the Congress and courts should investigate this...

Well, it looks like the underpinning incident of this thread is gone.

The student made the whole thing up.

That said, as I pointed out, government surveillance of library usage is an ongoing threat and should be resisted whenever possible.

The little ****head.

Still, the fallout from the Bush story continues, and grows: Spying more extensive than previously thought.

I cited Faux news, even though it's on every outlet. Just for our 'Fair and Balanced' friends......
