Go and read Matthew Heidt’s (Froggy Ruminations) commentary which is appropriately titled “Eavesdropping On Cowards”. Matt has affirmed my contention and support for President Bush’s actions stated here and here.

Here’s the reason for President’s Bush’s action:

With respect to the monitoring of calls from those foreign numbers to US persons, the only way to obtain FISA warrants PRIOR TO the initiation of any of those potential calls would be if a list of PREVIOUSLY called numbers in the US could be determined. Calls made from the foreign numbers to US numbers not previously known (it is tradecraft SOP to periodically change these numbers on both ends) could never be monitored under the absurd “interpretation” of the Constitution by liberals in the US Senate.

What I’m not getting is that not one reporter or columnist out there could research this information. Or is it that this isn’t right answer for them, so ignorance is bliss? Go read the Matt’s commentary.
