CUT THE CRAP, PART 2....Rep. Pete Hoekstra (RSpin City) explains today that the NSA's call monitoring program is completely legal and fully vetted: The program fully complies with the law and the Constitution. It has been reviewed by executive branch attorneys, and congressional leaders from both parties including my friend and colleague Rep. Jane Harman (D-Venice) have been regularly briefed. Democratic leaders in the House and Senate have been aware of this program for several years yet never expressed any concerns until it was illegally leaked.
Gee, Pete, you seem awfully sure that this program "fully complies with the law and the Constitution." So why is it that when Qwest asked for a routine court order to make everything legal and tidy, the NSA decided it would rather leave a gap in its surveillance than get one? According to USA Today, their lawyers told Qwest "they didn't want to do that because FISA might not agree with them."
And why didn't the White House ask Congress to amend the FISA law to clearly allow the NSA's programs? According to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, it's because they consulted with congressional leaders and were told "that was not something we could likely get."
And why is that in 2004, then-Attorney General John Ashcroft John Ashcroft! refused to reauthorize one of the NSA's programs until further procedures were put in place to ensure that it wasn't abused?
And why did District Court Judge James Robertson resign from the FISA court after the NSA's original domestic spying program was publicly revealed last year? According to the Washington Post, he "privately expressed deep concern that the warrantless surveillance program authorized by the president in 2001 was legally questionable and may have tainted the FISA court's work." What's more, both the current and former heads of the FISA court have "expressed serious doubts about whether the warrantless monitoring of phone calls and e-mails ordered by Bush was legal."
Bottom line: cut the crap about how the NSA "fully complies with the law and the Constitution." If that were the case, the president would be eager to test it in court and clear up all doubt. The reason he's not is pretty obvious: he knows perfectly well he'd lose.

Without getting too complicated, I don't think you can "test it in court" or do any of the other things that would completely convince liberals the programs are harmless without destroying the programs.
If that's the goal, fine. But be honest enough to put it out there.
And what about the ranking intelligence committee members? They've known about this program since the end of 2001, including a year in which the leaders of the committees were Democrats. The ranking Democrats seem awfully quiet again.
They going to try the "I hated the program but really couldn't say anything at the time" gag again?

There is a lot spin and crap being thrown by apologists like Hoekstra, one that also is worth pointing out is this one:
We suffered a setback Thursday when USA Today ran a front-page story alleging that the National Security Agency was collecting domestic phone records. This article hurt our efforts to protect Americans by giving the enemy valuable insights into the Terrorist Surveillance Program, which has been focused like a laser beam on Al Qaeda and its known associates.
The GOP apologists repeat this mantra everytime the President is exposed at having stepped over the line gathering information about thousands of innocent Americans. He presents not a single shred of evidence to back up his allegations which come close to accusing USA Today of treason. President Bush has similar breathless claims when it was exposed in the NYT times that he had not been telling Americans the truth about warrantless wiretapping.
Its time for these whining apologists who rush to accuse journalists of treason everytime it is shown that this administration is playing games with the Constitution and not coming clean with the American people. These breathless claims of treason and aiding the enemy are of the utmost seriousness and not a game and its time for President Bush and his apologists to stop playing partisan games with our nations national sescurity and put up or shut up.
Fox "News" takes this propaganda to sloppy extremes in its recent coverage throwing baseless mud against USA Today.
The Dow was down 120 points today, prompting Fox News David Ruder to suggest it was because USA Today made the country less safe by running its story on NSAs data mining.
But Fox News host Brenda Butler disagreed, saying that Wall Street would not going to let some puny, little traitor, some leaker who went ahead and compromised our national security, take down this, take down our market, take down our country. http://thinkprogress.org/2006/05/12/fox-nsa-traitor/
Fox News has become so partisan and unhinged that now its own reporters are making such ridiculous claims that they are looking like they are trying to parody themselves.
Its time for responsible Americans to demand an end to this kind of crap. Many in the GOP have come to this, screaming traitor, at every embarrasment, respectable people include Conservates as well as liberals, Republicans as well as Democrats should repudiate the demogaguery of Hoekstra and Fox as the irresponsible crap that it is.

Because George W Bush, as commander in Chief in the War on Terror, has the inherent power to issue surveillance orders without a warrant and therefore there was no need for a warrant.

Wrong. The President is protecting the American people, and has better things to do than satisfy the absurd demands of liberal bloggers. What you're doing is like asking soldiers in Iraq to obtain a court order before firing back at terrorists.

This is really a comment on cut the crap I but I'm putting it here to get attention.
Falkenrath is not the only person who hopes that someone somewhere hasn't figured out how easy it is to look up a number in the phone book these days (googling the number does indeed work).
From
www.nytimes.com/2006/05/13/washington/13phone.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1
"'There's a loophole,' said Mark Rasch, the former head of computer-crime investigations for the Justice Department and now the senior vice president of Solutionary, a computer security company. 'Records of phones that have called each other without identifying information are not covered by any of these laws.'"
OK so anyone want to hire a computer security consultant who thinks that there could be such a thing as "Records of phones that have called each other without identifying information" ???
Not only is the guy obviously lying, but he is confident that any potential clients will assume he is lying and not too stupid to live let alone protect them from hackers.

He's the worst kind of loser. The kind that is so psychologically unbalanced, that public acknowledgement of his lack of good judgment is to be avoided at all costs. Even at the cost of violating the constitutional liberty against unwarranted search and siezure. Bush's frail psyche cannot handle the possibility that he has failed in his primary task: To protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America. His oath of office was pretty specific. And he's failed at fulfilling it. Failed. Failed. Failed.

Free advice to people in the Washington Post who are not quite technologically savy.
If you type
http://www.reversephonedirectory.com/whitepages/phone/index.html?number=XXXXXXXXXX
where XXXXXXXXXX is a valid unlisted phone number, you can get the name and address of the perosn whose phone number it is.
Of course this can also be done programmatically for millions of numbers, without human intervention. For example, download the HttpClient library from http://jakarta.apache.org

I've reluctantly come to the conclusion that Republicans will say anything, anything at all. It reminds one of how, when asked what her name is, a whore will reputedly reply, "What would you like it to be?" Republicans are equally quick to argue for any position at all so long as it benefits their party or big business.

I heard on one broadcast that they are claiming that "business" records are not protected and therefore all this is legal. Does this mean I can legally start a private business whereby I provide the calling history to any phone number provided by a customer - no questions asked? (I will not include any personal information of course! Just provide me with a phone number.)

No, Matt. You tell me how it could remain functional.
What does "tested" mean? Exactly which court? Where would hearings be held? Who would be in on them, and who would not? How would security be maintained while convincing the paranoid that someone wasn't pulling a fast one?
The publicity so far on this issue has probably already destroyed any effectiveness the program would have had, and lawsuits and other attacks on phone companies will make that certain. The issue is, for all intents and purposes, already dead.
It's obvious that the Left considers the old vetting mechanism of the House and Senate Inelligence Committees broken. What are they to be replaced with?

There was a time I would have thought this comment was a troll, but it reflects exactly the kind of thought processes by Hoekstra.
Have you lost the ability to think critically or did you never have it? Try this as a thought experiment, pretend this was a program by Clinton or Gore or Kerry and then formulate your response.
You are right about one thing, if terrorists never ever call anyone ever utilizing any messenging system that passes through a U.S. owned company then the system probably wont work - if this story caused that to happen then that will do far more to cripple al queda than this program ever could have by limiting their ability to communicate.
Please explain in detail how this program would have resulted in actionable intelligence if kept secret but now no longer possibly can that the general outlines are known. You cant so you are left with blind faith apparently depeding on whether you it is politically convenient to shout one thing or the other.

I assume this includes all the ranking Democrats, too, including the year or so when the program was active and the Democrats were leading the committees.
Catch22:
It's obvious that phone companies aren't going to continue cooperating under these circumstances, so like I said, this is probably a moot point.
Others have explained how the database could be used, including Falkenrath.
There is no way you can make the case that revealing the existence of the database, including which phone companies were or were not included in it (a lot more than just a "general outline"), would have no impact at all on its effectiveness.

It's already Constitutional. The Supreme Court determined phone records were not a Fourth Amendment issue some time ago. You'd have to go by statutes, if anything.
I can't think of any mechanism for clearing this to the satisfaction of the paranoid Left that would leave any part of it still secret.

Well, if it is constitutional, there is no reason for the telcos to stop co-operating.
No the mere publication of the existence of the program does not nullify its effectiveness in any obvious way. The onus for proof of their assertion is on those who claim that the program is no longer effective just because now everyone knows about it.

Yes given that it's not legal then they shouldnt cooperate, good thing it became public or they would have continued doing this illegal program under pressure from the Bush adminsration.
Oh but it was legal you say, then the government can compel them to cooperate. If its legal then they have nothing to fear, if you trot out the boogeyman of baseless lawsuits as the problem congress can fix that. If they refuse than the Congress can tighten the law to make sure they do.
I guess you have forgotten that the GOP still controlls both houses and the Presidency, and can change the laws.

Isn't this the point of FISA, to review programs such as this in secret?
Posted by: smuggler on May 13, 2006 at 4:44 PM | PERMALINK
There was a split in the administration between those who thought that it was legal under the Constitution, and those who thought that it was not. There was a split among Republicans in the Congress between those who thought legalization could be passed and those who thought that it could not. There was an awareness that Democrats would play the issue for partisan gain, or blame the Republicans for partisan gain, to the detrement of the country (or the Republican party.) With the confirmation hearings and the energy bill taking years to get through, with the SS reform killed, and with most other things passing by narrow margins, they decided to finesse the issue.
I can't tell whether the administration made a political mistake or not. We'll learn something during the Hayden nomination hearings, and we'll see how the Democrats and Republicans play it in the elections.
There are some vagaries in the laws. It looks to me like it was legal, but I have so far read only about 4 legal opinions. Orin Kerr says that he is planning to write more, as are some others.
Posted by: republicrat on May 13, 2006 at 4:55 PM | PERMALINK
BTW, the latest from Truthout is that other hanky-panky was going on (like using spy satellites!), so it may be moot that checking the phone records is legal.

tbrosz,
I've been wondering about that year when Democrats led the relevent committees. That year was before this became public and before anyone had an inkling of how deep and complex these operations are. Did the White House actually tell them anything? Or, in what they did tell them, was it couched in some way of deep security that made it almost impossible for them to question?
You are right though, I don't think this method of data gathering could be viewed in any happy way by liberals no matter how many safeguards implemented.
As it is, there are no evident safeguards at all, and, on top of that, they allow private companies to work on the data analysis. It just seems too certain these will only be the kind of companies Republicans trust. You know, evil.
Look, you people won. The program is dead. Have a beer and go looking for the next national security operation to kneecap.
As when we thought Poindexter's program was killed years ago, but they just changed its' name.
Posted by: cld on May 13, 2006 at 4:59 PM | PERMALINK
Billions of phone numbers connecting to other phone numbers. You can't do anything with that volume of data unless you have a place to start, such as the phone number of a terror suspect. And if you have the phone number of a terror suspect, the Feds could get FISA approval. So why the secrecy? Why the sneaking around the established legal process?
I might feel differently if Bushco wasn't setting a records for political trickstery.

Get this,
Talking Points quoting Newsweek,
http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/008454.php
In the margins of (Joseph Wilson's) op-ed, Cheney jotted out a series of questions that seemed to challenge many of Wilson's assertions as well as the legitimacy of his CIA sponsored trip to Africa: "Have they done this sort of thing before? Send an Amb. [sic] to answer a question? Do we ordinarily send people out pro bono to work for us? Or did his wife send him on a junket?"
At that point Cheney already knew who Wilson's wife was.
Is it too early to suggest some connection to Dusty Foggo? Plame was working on the Iranian nuclear program, but she was also working, as apparently the entirety, of a company that filled in the background of undercover agents in which connection she might have had a lot to do with procurement executives, like Foggo.

If Reprentative Hoekstra truly wants to help the nation then he should stop this empty partisan treason mongering and get his party to stop puting politics over National Security and have Congress engage in the oversight envisioned by our founding fathers as essential to maintaing our Democratic system of checks and balances.
"It's the recklessness at the top of our government, not the press' exposure of it, that has truly aided the enemy, put American lives at risk and potentially sabotaged national security," Rich continues.

listen, you apologist sack of under-educated dog shit, and listen well.
NONE of the programs brought to light that we object to -- including secret prisons, rendition, torture, unauthorized spying on americans, illegal wiretaps, or exposure of covert CIA agents for personal vendettas -- NONE of these comprise any element of national security. They make us demonstrably less safe and provide recruitment for al qaeda.
Those who proposed, approved, and participated in these activities are traitors to america and all it stands for. Any opportunity to kneecap these traitors and their programs is well fucking worth it.

Kevin, this is slightly off topic, but related to cutting the crap and the earlier post "It turns out it was wrong"
A year after Bush administration claims about Iraqi "bioweapons trailers" were discredited by American experts, U.S. officials were still suppressing the findings, says a senior member of the CIA-led Iraq inspection team.
At one point, former U.N. arms inspector Rod Barton says, a CIA officer told him it was "politically not possible" to report that the White House claims were untrue. In the end, Barton says, he felt "complicit in deceit."
....
Returning to Baghdad in late 2003 to join the CIA-commissioned Iraq Survey Group in a senior role, Barton found that specialists had dismissed the "biotrailer" suspicions. Strong evidence showed the units were instead designed to make hydrogen for weather balloons, as Iraqis claimed.
David Kay, then chief inspector, has since said that in December 2003 George J. Tenet, then CIA director, wouldn't accept this finding.
That February, Tenet claimed in a Washington speech that the trailers could be used to make bioweapons.

I do love tbrosz's sophistry. If Dems kick up a fuss, they're leakers who harm national security and can't be trusted with classified information. If they don't, they're patsies.
Btw: gun owners? Are you still confident that your names aren't on another big database, in spite of what Ashcroft promised?

I am not a big fan of the FISA Court, since if I read my history correctly there was a direct line between the fight to end the Star Chamber and the American Revolution. But to answer your question: in the FISA Court, as requested by Qwest. Where the judges hold Top Secret security clearance. In front of which the hearings are conducted in secret, and the report is there has never been a breach of security. Which the NSA and the Bush Administration refused to do.

I heard the bioweapons trailer was a taco truck owned by Ahib, the only taco vendor in Mosul.

My guess is that tbrosz is on the payroll of the RNC. I mean, his whole schtick seems to be to try to repeat nonsense over and over again in hopes of confusing people. Who else but the RNC would do such a thing.
Unfortunately for them, six years of repeating nonsense has resulted in a 29% approval rating. They don't seem to have any other strategy.
BTW, I've always found Al to be a wonderful sataris--whether he intends to be so or not.

Can you give one reason that illegal policies should be tolerated? You never explain why something that is illegal should be done.
If a "national security operation" involved selecting citizens on American soil for assassination, would you be upset if this operation was "kneecapped"?

What's with all the personal attacks on tbrosz? I mean, he's not a troll like Al, and he supports his arguments unlike FF or some others. Do some commenters here really have such fragile confidence in their own beliefs that they just have to lash out at anyone who disagrees?
Look, the fact that this datamining operation should be illegal, doesn't mean it is. And it does seem to be constitutional, at least under Supreme Court precedent as it now stands, that there is no reasonable presumption of privacy with respect to phone records. The monitoring of phone calls that broke last year was clearly illegal under FISA, as far as I know this isn't.
It's still, in my opinion, a terrible policy, easily prone to further abuse. And I think it should be unconstitutional, even if the SC hasn't yet seen it that way. But bad policy is not necessarily illegal policy

I'm uncomfortable with the NSA data mining of our phone data. Hell, I'm uncomfortable that the data exists in the telecomms' databases. The only difference between the telecomm databases and NSA's is that the NSA's spans all telecomms, and that they are focused on national security while the telecomms are limited to their customers and they are out to make a buck (and I hold stock in many of them).
That data ranks right up there with credit history data on the "none of your &%$-ing business" list. But it is also crucial data to tracking down terrorists in our country. And they *are* here.
So in short, I'm saving judgement on this one. More data please. I hate it when they ask a poll that basically says, "Given the 5% of the iceberg poking above the water, is remaining 95% of its shape pleasing or not." There is a lot to be learned/leaked yet.
And I'm also very curious to hear from democrats who have been "read in" on the programs. This is why we have a loyal opposition, to keep both sides honest while protecting our country. So far...crickets.

Red State Mike makes some good points. Good post. I have a giant concern that I have never seen addressed.
The islamic terrorists are not the brightest bulbs in the world. Osama is probably living in a cave. They are hard to find in Bagdad where everybody hates us, but would standout like a sore thumb anyplace in America. Have you actually read about the shoe bomber? What a moroon.
Why is it necessary for us to surrender our freedoms to fight this gang. It isn't like we are dealing with the old soviet union and the thousands of experts then in the employ of the KGB. Don't you think that with sufficient human intelligence carefully directed we could deal with these guys far more effectively without giving up our Constitutional freedoms? Hummmm?

Let's all cut the crap and place this scheme in its proper context. It is the Huston plan--nothing less and perhaps even somewhat more. It has nothing to do with terrorism. Its exclusive targets are domestic political opponents of the Republican Party. It would have been put in place even if September 11 had not happened. Its supporters know this; this is why they voted for it; they are proud of it; let them not cringe and dissimulate, but let them come forward and say that they are proud and say why they are proud.
Posted by: Frank Wilhoit on May 13, 2006 at 10:38 PM | PERMALINK
Red State Mike,
I have read that some Democrats were aware of the program. They were told that if they blew the whistle bad things would happen to them. Apparently they are cowards, or maybe just craven. As I have said before, we should vote against them and every Republican for the same reason. They have utterly failed to properly oversee the executive.
Posted by: Ron Byers on May 13, 2006 at 11:03 PM | PERMALINK
Marty Lederman says the NSA program probably isn't in violation of the FISA. That's because the surveillance is conducted by the phone companies, not the NSA.
But the data gathering does violate, Lederman says, provisions of the Stored Communications Act and the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

tbrozs: "The program is dead."
Yes. The president just rolled up his tents & went home.
Please.
I think the one thing that we can all agree on is that the president is just getting started. The only polls out so far seem to contradict one another, but national security is pretty much the only issue that the president might still have working in his favor -- and that, too, is slipping. He's going to ride this horse to the finish line, or into the ground. I'm not confident on saying where most of America is on this one, so I'll leave those predictions to the rest of you.
But -- even if you're okay with this kind of a data mining program -- do you really have confidence that this administration would be able to do anything constructive with the massive amounts of data that this produces? These are the guys who -- whether or not you agreed with the decision to invade Iraq -- were absolutely certain about W. M.D.'s, and have gone on to completely blow the occupation. If they didn't put together the pieces in time to prevent 9/11, do you honestly believe that, this time, these guys are going to keep us safe by sifting through billions -- possibly trillions -- of telephone communications? Right now, all we're talking about is the legality of this stuff. Assume, for the sake of argument, that it is legal, then ask yourself: is this something that this administration is even capable of performing? Is it more likely that they're going to actually suss out the (let's be generous and say) dozen or so terrorist plots that might be out there among these trillions of communications at any given moment, or that they're going to wind up chasing their tails while a group of terrorists who have common sense enough NOT to use telephones do something to hurt us? This is, after all, the administration that didn't know what to do with the weather forecast that predicted Katrina.

Brosz: were you Libertarian or Totalitarian when you posted tonight? You are anathema to your own front party affiliation. Here is the central question of the NSA program: you can't learn a damned thing about terrorists from a massive collection of phone numbers. Now if you know a terrorists phone number, you can certainly go to FISA and link him or her to other numbers and cells. But this vast data mining operation has nothing to do with security. It has huge political and commercial application though. It would be one of the most complete data bases ever assembled on consumer tendencies and sociological interaction between families and friends. And it would trace calls to the DNC and local party precincts pretty damned well. We know those numbers. In other words, you pretty much have to know what you are looking for for this whole program to have any utility at all. It will not help you find an unknown terror cell. At all.
They tend to buy single use phones and communicate rarely amongst themselves. Someone else is interested in what Americans are saying and who they are calling. So Brosz, you are a fraud. Just like the administration. Keep designing those "rockets."

tbrosz wrote: "Don't know about the first point, since nobody's actually seriously countered any of my arguments yet."
That's because you haven't made a single argument worth countering. It's been nothing but rants and wholly unsupported assertions, not to mention an unhealthy dose of blind, unthinking partisanship. Come back when you've actually got something worth saying.
Kevin Drum wrote: "The reason he's not is pretty obvious: he knows perfectly well he'd lose."
It's not that simple. There are a couple of reasons, I think. The first is that you are correct that the Bush administration knows that it could lose. With two new Supreme Court justices, though, both of whom are well known supporters of the expansion of presidential authority, there is a reasonable chance that the Bush administration could win.
But as I said, they definitely could lose, which would be devastating to their notion of unlimited presidential authority. They would much rather not put it to the test, thereby guaranteeing that they can continue exercising supreme authority as they see fit. Why take the chance if you don't have to?
There is another reason, too, I think, and that is that some of them really have drunk the Kool-Aid and really do believe that the president is above the law. They aren't testing this in court because they honestly believe they don't have to -- that the courts have no jurisdiction in these matters. I hope there aren't many of these true believers like that but the reading I've done gives strong indication that such people do exist, particularly in the nebulous area of "national security" and that Bush and Cheney are likely to be among them.
Hmm...speaking of true believers, I wonder if there's a third factor, the fact that you think you're doing "God's will" and since this is a matter of faith, you're just not willing to let anyone else have a say in this.

In any case, yes, I think the Democrats (and even the Republicans) in Congress have not been told the full and complete truth about the activities of this administration. And I don't think that we've seen the end of the revelations.
Posted by: PaulB on May 14, 2006 at 1:25 AM | PERMALINK
Bottom line: cut the crap about how the NSA "fully complies with the law and the Constitution." If that were the case, the president would be eager to test it in court and clear up all doubt. The reason he's not is pretty obvious: he knows perfectly well he'd lose.
Kevin, in order to get this matter before a federal court, it must be a "case or controversy" brought by a plaintiff with standing to trigger jurisdiction. In the absence of criminal charges being brought against someone, I don't see anyone who would have standing to make a legal challenge to the program. If a lawsuit were brought by Members of Congress, it would be dismissed as being a "political question" by the courts.
Perhaps that's how it should be. If the American people through their elective representives don't object to the President's actions, why should the judiciary get involved at all or even care?

No company that sells to the public could withstand the fire that the Left is going to bring down on them for this.
tbrosz presumes, dishonestly, that only "the Left" is concerned about civil liberties and abuse of gorvenrment power. It's richly ironic that this so-called "libertarian" is so ardent about trusting the government (well, as long as they give with the tax cuts...)
Look, you people won. The program is dead. Have a beer and go looking for the next national security operation to kneecap.
tbrosz implies, bizarrely and dishonestly, that the opposition to Bush's criminal behavior is motivated by a desire to "kneecap" national security operations. Shame on you, tbrosz.

I'm thinking that there is a new market opening up for internet phones. A market that includes a by-default encrypting client. It should be setup to use ssh public key encryption of data so that whenever someone calls another client, the default is that the data is encrypted. Furthermore, I think an anonymizer system could be setup to hide what source is calling which client. This could even work halfway with client to telephone calls. You couldn't get the encryption thing into it unless you sell phones with builtin encryption that would work automatically with the service...
Combine an anonymizer system with ssh encryption of voice/data traffic and the NSA gets nothing but noise. Tie in some xmas presents to family and friends including a nifty by-default encryption phone and a wireless phone encryption system/anonymizer and we are set.
I'm seriously thinking about doing something like this ala an encrypted and anonymized Vonage or Skype system.

Look, you people won. The program is dead. Have a beer and go looking for the next national security operation to kneecap.
With pleasure. Better still, I want a Constitutional Amendment to once and for all cut off the ability of the Executive to classify much of anything, let alone hide anything from the people that actually own the government: the people. We are NOT subjects of the government, the government is subject to US. NO secrets allowed except those that are purely and clearly involved in military capabilities and plans or external intelligence gathering methods or procedures. NO internal secrets. None. Any attempt to classify ANYTHING or withold ANYTHING should have to be proven as necessary in a court by the Executive. No more secret energy policy meetings or minutes (Totally inappropriate and indefensible...what national security interest is "protected" there?). An open government is the only valid government. Anything else is, by definition, NOT a democracy and NOT legitimate.
Zero intelligence gathering inside the US vs ANY citizens at all without a valid court order. No more "Executive privilege". The President is supposed to be weak and minimal. It is an office inferior to the Congress by design and intent. It s there merely as a necessary evil for handling rare shit like true national threats like Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, etc...NOT a gaggle of yahoos wearing rags...and where is the "war on terror" to crush the anti-choicers who use terrorism tactics against doctors, nurses, and other civilians? I want a raid against those terrorists along the lines of the raid against Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. They are the same: a bunch of nuts using the terror tactic to conduct a fight they are incapable of winning by legitimate means.

There will still be criminals in the judiciary; and even within the justice department itself. Its an executive function, it needs to be within the executive, but Congress and the Judiciary both have oversight roles that need to be taken seriously.

How about a federal lawsuit against the participating telcos for violating a statute that requires them, if they contend the program is legal, to assert as a defense that they are cooperating with a lawful government program?
That's how its actually being done, you know.
