Given the WOT and the fact that not a single specific charge has been made AND given that several members of Congress on both sides were made aware of this BEFORE it began indicates that it was within the right of the Gov't to carry out these operations. There have been no complaints to date, not a single one from a Democratic Party that will simply make up sh*t to throw at this president if it cannot find any that exists.

Would you have the gov't now reveal WHO it eavesdropped on and why? Everything you say is true but nothing in any of the articles shows that any laws were broken only that "maybe" they were. So what is it, do we operate clandestinely to defeat the savages or should we just surrender today and save a lot of money, not to mention get more people around the world to "like" us?

I'll agree that the fact that both parties knew about this before and didn't throw a fit makes it more likely that the surveillance was necessary. That doesn't make it legal, though. They can get a warrant without the info becoming public, and as they are required by law and the constitution to do so, they should have. All government officials, from both parties or neutral, who support surveillance such as wiretaps without getting warrants when it is feasible to do so, are in the wrong...
