The intent is to stop terrorists from killing Americans.

Period.

Federal law enforcement agencies don't give a crap about the fight you're having with your girlfriend or the story your friend is telling you about the last time he was drunk.

And let us not forget, if the President had not pursued wire tapping on the numbers he got from #3 Al Queada mans laptop and the owner of one of those numbers had carried out an attack, there would be impeachment talk for not doing his job. So you are damned if you do, and damned if you don't. I do not envy the job.

Nor do I, but it's the sign of a good leader to accept the consequences of saving lives rather than the consequences of watching them be lost.

Odd that the mass media wasn't bitching about former Presidents Clinton, Carter, and others doing the same thing.

But they might "intend" to care about the fight I'm having with my girlfriend. Didn't you read 1984? Either way, your thinking that they "don't care" about this bothers me anyway. Why are we even putting federal law enforcement on this hand? - it should be waaaaaaayyyyyyyyy out of their pre-flop range. In fact, it should be a different game.

Yes.

It was a very entertaining work of fiction.
