No, silly, the Bush era is over. This is the Obama era. They’ll be Obama era wiretaps now.

This is a myth.

No one has ever admitted, demonstrated, or proven “warrantless wiretapping” or “eavesdropping” at any time. Both of those require the interception of voice communication.

The intercepts that have been discussed were the equivalents of trap and trace and pen register programs, which is capturing telephone numbers (and possibly email addresses). In the United States both are given the lowest possible level of scrutiny by the courts, for the simple reason that phone numbers are not “owned” by the user nor are they considered “private.”
