President Bush's policy only applies to international calls.

When an enemy of this country makes a phone call from overseas into our country, the president, as commander-in-chief of the armed forces, has the constitutional right and the duty to examine that phone call. It all falls under the current war being waged against al-qaeda.

If you support monitoriing the containers coming into our ports, you should have no objections to monitoring of communications into our borders.

There have been so many stories on this it's hard to know what actually happened. I've heard international calls only then it was international calls terminating in the U.S., then it was international calls originating in the U.S.

Where in the Constitution does it say that?
