Thank god...so that makes it okay?
I think not. Trampling on our rights...is always wrong. There is no excuse for this.
What right? They are only going after those who are calling al-Qaeda linked people. You calling people we all should know about?
it was legal in all cases - Carter, Clinton, Bush. we might see a "revelation" that Reagan used it too - good gosh, there are so many americans in gulags over this abuse of executive power, what are we to do!
I don't consider the government listening to the phone conversations of terrorists planning and plotting to kill me and thus preventing it from occurring, "trampling" on my rights. In fact, I expect them to do so.
