And show me one of those cases that says it's okay to spy on Americans, just one.
I see what you are trying to do here. You are trying to say that Americans speaking to other Americans inside this country is somehow, in some bizarre, Orwellian world 'foreign intel' so that you can then point to cases dealing with Foreign Intel and claim they are justifying Domestic Intel warrants from the FISA Court.
That is some twising around to try to pawn that off on the public. Did you feel this way when Bush was caught spying, with the telecoms' cooperation, on the American people also?
And don't bother with the 'he was doing it without a warrant' garbage, yes he was, so why did Congress cover for him by weakening the FISA Bill to cover his criminal behavior? That was an OUTRAGE, and even more of an outrage to try to use THAT outrage to cover for the latest outrage. Show us where in our law our government is allowed to spy on the entire population and how they would go about getting a warrant to do so.
