Attempting to enforce it would have been illegal.

Isn't spying on Americans talking to each other and selling 21 ports to the Arabs illegal?

They might be, but since neither of those things is occuring then there's no problem. Lisenting in on Al-Queda (our enemy) communications is legal in a time of war regardless of where that are located, and no ports have been sold.

In a nutshell, Yes! But, that isn't what happened.

Calls originate or end at a foreign source or terminal.

It was certain terminals within the ports, not the ports.
