Did you mind that Clinton's Eschelon program spied on Americans? Without benefit of a warrant and not during wartime.

Did you mind that Clinton's Eschelon program spied on Americans? Without benefit of a warrant and not during wartime.

The question is not whether I mind, the question is the lgality. The government has the explicity authority under US law to tap foreign communications to gather foreign intelligence. The purpose of Echelon, orginally, was to monitor international communications. When used for this purpose, the program is legal. When used to monitor purely domestic communications, the legality is in question.
