Re: Bush Wiretaps
[ QUOTE ]
Serious question. Why was it nessecary to skip the court order for wire taps, which are aquireable and legal? Is it unreasonable?

Do a Google News search on wiretaps and you can read a bunch of articles about how easy it is to avoid a wiretap. I guess its better to let the terrorists slip by, and then we can send them to prison for 500 concurrent life terms when they kill 500 people.

Only international calls are involved, and a federal judge oversees the process. As usual, the whole story is manipulated to sound unreasonable.

Ok- what is the difference between having a federal judge oversee it and having to apply for a warrent. If there is no difference why the nessecity for a directive? If there is a difference, what is it, and could it have been achieved without circumventing the law (if the law was actually circumvented)?
