CLEVELAND
A federal grand jury has indicted three Ohio men on charges of planning attacks on U.S. military personnel in Iraq, according to an indictment.
The three men, who all lived in Toledo within the last year, were arrested over the weekend, said Assistant U.S. Attorney David Bauer in Toledo. The indictment was unsealed Monday.
They were to be arraigned in federal courts in Cleveland and Toledo on Tuesday afternoon.
The suspects recruited others to train for a violent holy war against the United States and its allies in Iraq, the indictment said. The group traveled together to a shooting range to practice shooting guns and studied how to make explosives, the indictment said.

CNN's Kelli Arena says a U.S. appeals court ruling allows broad wiretap authority in the hunt for terrorists (November 18)
Justice appeals court ruling limiting information sharing
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The United States has broad authority to use wiretaps and other surveillance techniques to hunt for suspected terrorists, a federal appeals court panel ruled Monday.
In a 56-page opinion overturning a May decision by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, the three-judge panel said the expanded wiretap guidelines sought by Attorney General John Ashcroft under the new USA Patriot Act law do not violate the Constitution. (More on the USA Patriot Act)
The ruling by the special panel from the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia gives broad surveillance authority to counter-intelligence and counter-terrorism investigators to track individuals considered potential national security threats.
"Our case may well involve the most serious threat our country faces," the panel declared.
The reversal of May's decision by a federal judge represents a victory for the Justice Department and the FBI, which were harshly criticized by the lower court judge for its handling of wiretap applications, and their interpretation of the authority granted the government by the USA Patriot Act

If they hang them, they will have to hang Carter and bubba also. They've also given comfort to the enemy in time of war. I would have no objection to any of that happening!
The number of people guilty of treason would be staggering.
The three judges made up what is known as the FISA Court of Review. It was created in 1978 by the now-famous Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The act required that the president go to the so-called FISA Court to seek a warrant for surveillance in top-secret foreign-intelligence cases. For any disputed decisions that might arise, Congress also created the Court of Review, a sort of super-secret appeals court.
But in all the years between 1978 and 2002, there had never been occasion for the Court of Review to actually meet. Not until Sealed Case, and the three-way collision between the executive, legislative, and judicial branches that it involved. Today, a look at the circumstances of the case provides not only an insight into the administration’s rationale for the secret, warrantless surveillance program but also important clues to the mystery of how the whole thing got started in the first place.
The entire session lasted just a few hours, and the Justice Department waited for the Court of Review’s ruling. When it came, in November 2002, it was a slam-dunk win for the government.
I don't know where your research took you, but it seems to have missed this tidbit:
Not only could the FISA Court not tell the president how do to his work, the Court of Review said, but the president also had the “inherent authority” under the Constitution to conduct needed surveillance without obtaining any warrant — from the FISA Court or anyone else.

I understand; no problem.
"Someday when we are hit here at home again, all the usual suspects will be wailing about our failure to "connect the dots." As usual, they won't place the blame where it belongs."

Able Danger's methods along with NSA methods effective but according to DEMOCRATS these security ops pose the biggest threat to us..bet the three rag heads voted for Kerry a known traitor in our government from his viet nam lies days. LOL
It would be interesting to know who they voted for, if they voted at all.
What type of "men"? The article doesn't say.
Sorry treason is de-facto legal in the U.S.
I'll post the obligatory "I hope we didn't violate their rights by listening in on their phone conversations"
I'm guessing that communications stopped or were severly curtailed after the NYT revealed the NSA program. There being no more useful intelligence to obtain from this bunch as a result, the government went ahead with the arrests.
Way to go HS!
I forgot to add that Halliburton (KBR) furnished the computers to make the illegal, warrantless wiretaps. Now it's complete don't you think?:-)
