What do you propose, then? I can't imagine that you favor continuing to use an antiquated statute.

I see no choice but to amend FISA.

I think your concerns are not only premature but not based on reasonably foreseeable scenarios. The Courts and Congress can deal with abuses. The Courts, however, are singularly inept at managing domestic electronic intelligence gathering, which is what the present statute essentially requires them to do.

I don't think the terror threat has been exaggerated, as you suggest. The train bombings in Spain and England and the attacks in Bali, not to mention other domestic ones, such as the New Year's Eve plot and the Library Tower attempt, certainly suggest that the threat is real and substantial.
