I'm SO sick of the "9/11 changed everything" justification. Fine, make your goddamn illegal wiretaps. Don't listen to the advice of the 9/11 Commission, who just FLUNKED your ass on actually taking steps to make our country safe, but make illegal wiretaps so the people you catch will have to be let go.
It would have been trivially simple for him to get a legal groundwork for this action. But His Imperial Highness doesn't need to do that. Laws schmaws. We're post-9/11 here!

You didn't hear/read the Q and A session did you. One thing the pesident pointed out was they were legally only able to monitor calls that were sent out of or into the USA, not inside the USA itself. They could monitor calls to France but not calls from NY to LA. For someone so blatently breaking the law, why would they follow this policy? Perhaps, again, no laws were in fact broken.
Really rasbastid whats your beef here, if it was a simple technicality why bitch and moan like its the end of the world? You don't seem like a moonbat so I'm wondering why the blind hate?
