For one thing, getting a warrant would mean revealing too much information to Carter appointees like this one.

Strawman argument

Those who are making phone calls to jihadis and suspected jihadis world-wide (you know, the people who want to destroy our nation and its freedoms?), should be subjected to having their phone calls to the enemy monitored.

I agree, show cause, get a warrent do the job.

The USA has operative around the world monitoring communications all day, every day.

This information is, and always should be used to acquire permission for wiretaps within the USA.

You obviously are totally ignorant of the issues and must therefore be a RAT!!

This information is, and always should be used to acquire permission for wiretaps within the USA.

Except that we're not really talking about wiretaps on communications within the U.S. At least one party in these calls is outside the United States.
