OK, Listen, People, You need Education on Patriot Act vs NSA Spying
Advertisements [?]
Normally, the Government needs a court order to get a wiretap.

With the Patriot Act, the rules of this are changed when getting taps for calls WITHIN, repeat, WITHIN the USA.
With the NSA Spying, the rules of this are SUSPENDED UTTERLY when getting taps for calls that go INTO or OUT OF the USA to a FOREIGN country.

That is the difference. I am not saying that the NSA thing is legal, I am just spelling out the freaking difference, because people are still quoting that old quote from Bush about roving wiretaps and the Patriot Act, and they are looking like fools to the Neocons.

Patriot Act Wiretapping != NSA Wiretapping.

Stop associating the two. If you want to bitch about the PA, do so clearly. Its like associating 9/11 and Iraq!!!

:D (<---- note smily face which indicates I still love you all)
