1. Explain, please

I believe that most people here at DU know and appreciate the difference, that being that a court must be involved in a legal wiretap-and that those who want one must have a reason. Personally, I think the illegal wiretaps were fishing expeditions and/or checking up on what liberals and progressives are doing.

3. Turn off the TV

If those are the people you are refering to.
Most folks understand the difference.

5. That is what happens when Bush claims illegal wiretaps are legal

We are left with wiretaps obtained through FISA statute and ones that are legal merely because Bush said so.
