does it make sense to even consider asking FISA to OK this at this time? what happens if they say no?

The media never reported this stuff in it's true context, that it was a war-time action taken against our declared enemies. Whether or not those surveiled were American citizens shouldn't even matter if they were communicating directly to al Quaeda or other known islamic terrorists whom we are at war with. The Leftists would like everyone to overlook that little war factor and have us believe that these people may have been having benign conversations with terrorists about how to bake chocolate pies.

It's just another red herring thrown out there by the Left in keeping with their twisted tradition of attacking Pres Bush with bogus accusations. They probably never believed that this would stick, but it's the smear factor they're interested in. Every day the media make themselves more and more irellevent to the American people.

The Washington Compost is trying one last shot at proof this is an "illegal" program. This morning 3 WP reporters claim a "knowledgeable" source says there have been 5000 citizens spied on with all ending in dead ends. If the MSM is so convinced they have such a vast knowledge of this program and it being illegal, why don't they give us the names, agency and departments of the "knowledgeable" sources? Nothing to fear because their sources would just be whistle-blowers and not criminals. If these sources were so credible why a number like 5000? Anyone with real knowledge and a basic knowledge of computers can be a bit more precise, like 4872.

Even if the Committee decides to use its power and create a new law, it still has to go before two bodies: The public and the President. These jacka@@ are so stupid. It makes one wonder how they were ever elected and no wonder the Country is is such a mess.
