So, do you think that the NSA involved the lawyers, just to pass the time, to delay searching for the kidnapped soldier?

What doesn’t make sense, is the LAW, passed by the Dem Congress that those seeking wiretapping had to follow.

“Starting at 10 a.m. on May 15, according to a timeline provided to Congress by the director of national intelligence, lawyers for the National Security Agency met and determined that special approval from the attorney general would be required first.

For an excruciating nine hours and 38 minutes, searchers in Iraq waited as U.S. lawyers discussed legal issues and hammered out the “probable cause” necessary for the attorney general to grant such “emergency” permission.

Finally, approval was granted and, at 7:38 that night, surveillance began. “

No, I think the New York Post, not exactly the pinnacle of journalistic talent, may not be reporting the story correctly.
