| What the Bushies must believe |
...in order to believe they can and should ignore FISA and spy on Americans' phonecalls and e-mails without a court warrant.
1. The FISA judges cannot be trusted to know who is being wiretapped and why, either before or after the fact, because they would leak the wiretap information to the enemy...
2. Ditto for Congress, which also cannot be trusted to amend the FISA law...
3. Laws written before 9/11/2006 do not apply to the Bush administration...
4. They, and not Congress, know what the Congress really meant when it passed the force authorization...
5. The president is the one who decides the limits of presidential authority, not the Congress or the Courts...
6. There are few if any limits to the president's authority, so long as he can declare that "there's a war on..."
7. One "al-Qaida terrorist" on U.S. soil talking to another al-Qaida terrorist overseas is more dangerous -- and requires this higher level of warrantless spying -- than two terrorists in the United States talking to each other (which this special program doesn't cover...)
