Has it been confirmed this was done on American citizens? On Fox this morning they were saying it had not yet been confirmed these were American citizens, just that they were phone calls coming in to and going out of the US.

Interesting point. That being said, do any one of us have the Constitutional right to have a private conversation with Bin Laden? Certainly FDR would not have tolerated phone calls from Adolf to say... Charles Lindberg. Would Jefferson have refrained from reading communications from the Barbary Pirates to American citizens? I don't know the answer but it's interesting to think about.
Russ Feingold tried to get a bill passed that would exclude "American Citizens" from the "Foreign Powers" clause in FISA. It was tabled. Feingold must not be aware that Al Queda used citizenship as a cover. He is aggressivly stupid.
"Has it been confirmed this was done on American citizens? "
Does it matter?
If there is probable cause (about as low a threshold as it gets) to suspect that anybody, citizen or not, is providing information, assistance, logistics, monies, transportation, identities, etc., to our sworn enemies in this time of war, why the objection to "spying"?
