More ammo to counter the right wing lies and spin

[NJmaverick]

Here is a good one for anyone needing to shoot down some right wing spins and lies about King george's illegal wire taps. Here is someone who knows what you can and can't do with out a warrant.

Lt Gen Michael V. Hayden, USAF, Director, National Security Agency.


So how do we reconcile the government's need for foreign intelligence information with the need to protect individual privacy rights? We do this through a series of procedures outlined in the Executive Order, approved by the Attorney General and the Secretary of Defense, and vetted with the Congressional intelligence oversight committees.

The procedures recognize two important facts: first, there are times when a government needs to collect information about its citizens. The circumstances under which this is allowed to occur either inside or outside the U.S. are extremely limited and well-regulated. Basically, there must be probable cause that a person is an agent of a foreign power and a court must issue a warrant authorizing the surveillance inside the U.S.
