Right incoming voice telephone calls from foreign countries to suspected possible known al queada members in the US? You're against that?

Have you developed a reading comprehension problem suddenly, marajade? I've said in 2-3 posts now that I support the program. Sheesh.

I've said 2-3 times I support the NSA programs. If you're missing the broader point, then I can't help you.

I've already seen letters to the editor in various newspapers complaining that Congress supports the warrantless wiretapping program, but they don't support their offices being searched even WITH a warrant.

So why don't you stop reading more into my posts than there is. It's making you look silly.

That's a tad scrambled. The program covers calls to or from known or suspected terrorists outside the country. Those are monitored for content. The calls within the country aren't monitored, but the records of who called who are analyzed for patterns of connections to suspected terrorists.

I have no problem with either. Both are legitimate exercises of the power of the President as commander in chief, when authorized by the Congress to use the military forces of the US to prevent another terrorist attack such as occurred on 9-11-01. The latter isn't even spying or monitoring in the classic sense. It's no different than observing who you talk to as you go about your daily business, something for which no warrant is or ever was required.
