Here's a third: President Bush is at war (unlike the other three Presidents) and NEEDS to tap these conversations to protect Americans.

-snip-Why don't we trust Democrat's with National Security?
OK, since nobody else seems willing to say it, I will: the modern Demoncrat party is made up of TRAITORS who think America is the problem, not the SOLUTION.
That's why it should need to be renewed by Congress voting on it again every two or four years.

Bump Ann Coulter... A hot conservative babe!
On this one, I'm pretty sure Americans are going with the president.
If the Democrats had any brains, they'd distance themselves from the cranks demanding Bush's impeachment for listening in on terrorists' phone calls to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. (Then again, if they had any brains, they'd be Republicans.)
Right on Ann!!!!
Thanks for the PING! You know, Ann's original statement is surely the way to long-term peace.
I wish some of the conservatives on TV would dispute the rubber stamp label that the FISA court has from liberals. They rejected 179 of Bush's requests. Hardly a rubber stamp.
If they had brains AND morals, they would be conservatives!
"Clinton fired all the FISA court members and replaced them with partisan Democrats. But according to Wikipedia, FISA judges are appointed by the U.S. Chief Justice (who was Rehnquist). So Clinton never had the power to politicise the FISA court."
Robertson, a Clinton appointee, just resigned from the FISA court.
The rats don't need a patriot act they will just break the law, then say the law needs to be strengthened so others won't break the law. Remember Clinton and CFR.

Ok. Here's one I haven't seen before: 
I don't know. Terrorists flew two commercial aircraft into the World Trade Towers. To me that says that we are fighting a new enemy. That would call for new tactics.
I have a feeling that if we waited for the legal system to catch up to the new rules of war, we could have nukes going off once a week here in this country.
No nukes have gone off. Something must be working.
What's it worth to you not to be living within 50 miles of a nuclear wasteland?
A growing percentage of what is laughingly called "the leadership" within the Dem'crat party do not regard themselves as citizens of the US, but as "world citizens". Their concept of patriotism revolves around "the world", as opposed to that troublemaker country in which they had the misfortune to be born.
Nationalism has no place in their intellectual view, and is probably what they consider to be the #1 problem in the world today, leading to endless conflicts over "sovereignty" and ethnic differences.
"Terrorists" are just "world citizens" trying to break up this fixation with nationalism, and as such, they are noble warriors in the war on US nationalism. "World citizens" cannot, by definition, exclude terrorists from their circle of camaraderie.
Whoa...!
Yawn...that the best you can do? You forgot to add "eat a cheeseburger."
