The Major flaw with this piss ant's analysis is that he assumes these are American citizens under surveillance. NOT! The ones being listened to are Foreign Nationals. They are NOT afforded RIGHTS a US citizen has UNTIL they BECOME a Citizen.

EXACTLY RIGHT

I am strongly against warantless searches of American Citizens and their concomitant environs and communications; personally believing that the threat to individual liberties from our own government (regardless of the party in charge) is, and always will be greater than the threat from ten billion muzzy fanatics led by ten thousand Bin Ladens. I don't think ideology of left or right means as much as the tendency of bureaucracies and governmental entities to propagate and grow, rights be dammed.


But if they aren't an American citizen I really don't care what happens to them.

Though I don't disagree about spying on people residing outside the US, the first 10 Amendments to our Constitution (Bill of Rights) are restrictions on the Government, and are not limited to US citizens.
