a I said upthread, mark levin has been saying for years (from first hand knowledge) - that the FISA court provides a high legal hurdle to meet, and as such it supresses the vigor with which the warrants are pursued. and when that happens, leads and tips are just left on the vine - not pursued - as you have noted.
Agreed. IMHO, this is a bad mistake on Bushs part and it will come back to bite the US on the @$$. FISA...pfft!
Sometimes, for the hell of it, I imagine what it might have been if a warrant 'WAS' issued for Moussaoui's computer and 9-11 was prevented....
