    But you just said you didn't like Bush's decision? That's pretty much what Bush's decision was this time - him saying "all right. I'll go through the warrant process from here on out."

    as long as terrorists are being listened to, I dont care how its done

    Cool. I do care how it's done, though, because all I want him listening to are terrorists.

    That said, I agree with him on this one. Interesting that he had to reverse a position I strongly disagreed in order for that to happen, though.

    How many people do you know that had been 'stuck with a needle' from warrantless wiretaps of suspected terrorists? I don't know any, and I honestly don't remember hearing anyone complain about the program, while it was in place, interferring with their lives.

    What negative affect did it have on people? Real people and real examples please, because I haven't heard of any.

    As long as the gov't is able to track and eliminate terrorists planning attacks in our counrty the same with warrants needed as without, then I don't have a problem. But if beaucracy and the so called 'civil rights of terrorists' gets in the way of preventing an attack, then this is a big mistake.
