Wild speculation alert. We have seen that the NSA-FISA story was a complete hash by the NY Times since the only thing the Times reported accurately was that the NSA listens in on terrorists communications overseas. The NY Times inaccurately claimed the NSA was going around FISA, when in fact it was the completely opposite […]

As the bogus cases keep coming up against the NSA terrorist surveillance program, judges are typically throwing them out. Here is the second case to get the boot from the courts. More will follow. Stop the ACLU has more on this breaking news.

It has been my contention since the NY Times story exposed the NSA Terrorist Surveillance Program last December that the story was filled with inaccuracies and errors. My conclusions where based on deduction and bits of information that did not fit the NY Times reporting (see my category on FISA-NSA for all my posts). My […]

In one case that began to entangle our counter terrorism efforts within criminal court battles (thanks NY Times) the presiding judge has determined the defendant does not have the right to know whether he was under surveillance as he worked as the eyes and ears here in the US for our enemy Saddam Hussein. U.S. […]

The FISA-NSA “compromise” (more like a capitulation) has unnerved the far left and their crackpot enablers on the right. Some in Congress (and apparently the NY Times) want the NSA, a military unit, to get a warrant before it monitors terrorist enemies overseas. Why? Because they are afraid the terrorists may talk to someone in […]

The FISA-NSA row exploded last December when it was learned NSA leads on possible terrorists in this country, leads detected when legitimately monitoring the communications of terrorists overseas, were passed to the FBI, who then took them to FISA under a new process enacted after 9-11. Prior to 9-11 I am convinced the NSA would […]

Mac Ranger points to some non-news today on the NSA-FISA front. Specter thinks he has accomplished something, but in classic Washington DC style people are celebrating nothing new. – Require the attorney general to give the intelligence court information on the program’s constitutionality, the government’s efforts to protect Americans’ identities and the basis used to […]

Pete Hoekstra enlightens us on the Bush adminstrations pending actions: The Bush administration is preparing a crackdown on intelligence leaks to the media and will try to pursue prosecutions in some recent cases, the chairman of the House of Representatives […]

I know liberals tend to be very weak in mathematics (which is why they are so easily duped by news articles where 10 million phone records is somehow the same as spying on the 100’s of millions of personal, business and mobile phone numbers in the US. So I am not surprised that a leftwing […]
