Great explanation of this "wire tapping", so-called!! I have been trying to post this for the past month - it is not wire tapping. IT is digital data stream interception - no human being is listening to a conversation or reading an e-mail on the first pass.

IT is digital data stream interception - no human being is listening to a conversation or reading an e-mail on the first pass. Doesn't matter. It's the interception itself by any means, including electronic devices, that matters. That is what is covered by the wiretapping laws, and what is generally referred to as wiretapping.
Go ahead, plug a computer into your neighbor's VOIP phone line and start recording everything he says. Don't listen, just record. Then turn yourself in and see whether you get prosecuted under the federal wiretapping laws.
All this Clintonesque word-weasling on the Republican side is getting sickening.
