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.

I am right in the middle of finals, if you could link an article or two i would appreciate it, otherwise i'll have to wait untill next week to get into it.

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)?
