My civil rights aren't hindered AT THE MOMENT, so I don't care about anyone else's civil rights.

So you think its unacceptable for the US govt to monitor comm between an American and a known terrorist? You could read a bit more on history prior to the 8 yrs of Clinton to know that there is many examples of the executive branch allowing for the monitoring of communications.

Indeed, the communications mining has never stopped.

We must consider though, do two wrongs make a right?
