Secondly, haven't we already learned the lesson that wiretaps without oversight are just a bad idea? The whole reason we have the FISA court in the first place is because Dick Nixon was a nutjob and went around wire-tapping anyone who looked at him wrong or interrupted his drunken, incoherent muttering. Or did you just want to take Bush at his word that he's only wire-tapping terrorists? I figure he talks about Jesus a lot so he must be telling the truth.
Finally, those who are paying attention to the details of this story know that the NSA has been listening in on all overseas calls and flagging suspicious conversations. For instance, when I was in Italy this summer those thugs were listening in when I told my parents about my visit to "Osama's ribhouse" where I ordered the "nuclear hot wings" by saying, "I'm ready for a full-fledged attack of flavor!"
I also mentioned my favorite Bob Dylan album, Infidels and the new rock band I was starting called "Perish in a Fiery Holocaust on the Wings of Allah" (we're still looking for a bass guitarist, so e-mail me if you're interested).
