Re: Russ Feingold on illegal wiretapping and Leiberman and TWAT

Actually I think middle America does in fact differentiate between wire tapping calls originating outside the US or going outside the US where US nationals are not involved and FISA. FISA as I understand it really only applies to US nationals. Now I am fully aware that there are some bad guys who are also US nationals, but there is a provision for handling that. If they can get the law changed fine, but as long as the law is in place Bush like anyone else, is obliged to follow it. THe fact that they did not try to get the law changed until after court cases is yet one more indication of the poor judgement shown by Bush etal.
