A Dec. 23 Boston Globe story, essentially confirmed the next day in The New York Times, suggested that the NSA surveillance has operated by creating search terms and using computers to monitor not only suspected Al Qaeda operatives' but all Americans' international calls, e-mails, and faxes. If particular terms are a match, the communications are automatically culled and referred for follow-up.

Thats cute mix a Clinton Program with a Bush Program then blame Bush for both

This would certainly explain why Bush didn't use FISA courts to obtain warrants—no court would countenance surveillance upon countless millions of Americans. Even if the monitoring is automated, humans still must select search terms or target individuals. Done in secret, with accountability only to a highly politicized White House, there is absolutely nothing to prevent Bush and his cronies from using the NSA to illegally spy on anyone of their choosing."

Ah but a court did in Clintons case...
Bad reporting.
Past that the rhetorical ideological nonsense.."Cabal","illegal War ", "corrupt", iow the usual stuff splashed all over the article would and should make most people dismiss it anyway.
Whats deeply alarming to me is the quality of media reporting today and the willingness of many to accept it. Take a paper form today and get one form hell 1965 put them side by side..the paper today will almsot always look juvenile haphazard and full of more look here folks type of reporting then actual news reporting.
In a little article crammed between 4 other such little articles you got more reliable and informative information and facts in the past then you do now from an entire page.
TV/Radio is much worse.

It's either that, or by 2007 we will be living in a de facto dictatorship. It's our choice.
