I'm amazed at how many continue to "drink the lemonade" and proclaim it fine, better than the alternative. So, fast forward a coupld of years, we have a known terrorist in custody, then we're letting him go. Why? Illegal eavesdropping.
Sure, we could have done it right. Why bother though?
The fact that this administration must KNOW that every questionable wiretap could likely lead to a terrorist being let free when we know he's guilty is as bad as unlocking the doors. And it really makes me think that they're really much more concerned with gathering information on political enemies rather than catching terrorists.
