"Warrants are still required for eavesdropping on entirely domestic-to-domestic communications, those officials say, meaning that calls from that New Yorker to someone in California could not be monitored without first going to the Federal Intelligence Surveillance Court."

I'd be willing to bet quite a fair chunk of change that we find out a bit of that kind of monitoring has been done as well, without warrants- of course we probably won't find out for 30 years.

John,
They werent looking for you. There were real reasons to be concerned in the months following 9/11 that more attacks were in the works. Can you imagine the outcry if there had been a bunch of attacks that we could have thwarted using these techniques? I dont want to end up a dead liberal. I would rather be cautious in these matters and not jump to ridiculous conclusions. Mike
