Yes, sorry again. I posted an apology immediately after my post which was misdirected to you.

And, although I have a lot of disdain for the generalized class of Leftist/Democrats, I don't believe Rust Marialis(to whom the post should have been directed) had anything but the best motives for posting it -- notwithstanding that they may be doing so to help discredit Bush and Republicans -- the standard attempt to protect the constitution and being played for a dupe by their party.

The party leadership panders to such ignorance and good intentions to manipulate them into promoting lies, literal lies, in order to profit from subverting the war. For instance, none of this is a "wiretap," but that word is spread purposefully to prey on the publics emotions and an attempt to dehumanize this administration (and ALL Republicans) as criminals.

Actually, they are the criminals who lie and promote herd like reactions from the public, in order to gain party and personal power, not for the good of all the country. They are either complete and total idiots, or they are actively intent on ruining the United States and destroying its intelligence gathering abilities . . . literal traitors attempting rebuild a socialist utopia from the ruins they manipulate us into . . .

FISA actually covers 'electronic surveillance'*, not 'wiretaps', but the net effect is the same. A rose by any other name...
