"all that had to be taken to the FISA court within 72 hours"


"the law was recently updated to make clear eavesdropping on foreigners does not require a warrant no matter what kind of communications they use"

here is the real story behind the fixed news spin: FISA worked fine until the bush admin tried to circumvent and therefore expose the most well hidden court in the USA :thumbsup:

Kinky - unfortunately - the statement about "eavesdropping on foreigners" isnt exactly what the new bill says - it says anyone outside of the US (which includes US citizens) - and allows the eavesdropping to occur on ISP servers and telecom frames inside the US

very loudest to whine when we get hit again.........wah, wah, wah, the
government didnt protect us, wah, wah, wah.

According to the last Foreign Intelligence Committee meetings on C-Span, both sides agree that the last revision had wording in the hastily added ammendment that wasn't specific enough; and should be revised.
