11. I would rather trust the ACLU's stance on this than anyone else's
The FISA framework set up in the 1970s is sufficient as it is. If we really wanted to combat terrorism, then maybe we ought to examine our foreign policy for a long-term solution to the mess. Namely, stop bolstering US corporate interests abroad to the detriment of Americans back home. Defense contractors sell tons of weapons to third world dictatorships and in war zones all over the planet. Billions in profits are made. We've got to take the profit out of war; otherwise, our government will only continue to invade and assault third world countries.
