Only for international phone calls, where one person is a non-US person, and it is limited to tracking down folks who are suspectd of terrorism; if someone is getting a phoen call from a knon al-Qaeda related number, there msut be some sort of observation of what is happening.

I doubt that this threatens the freedom of average Americans.

Yeah but my question is how long have they've been doing this? Since sept. 11?

The wiretapping program isn't working, otherwise the Madrid bombing, the London bombing, the Jordan bombing, etc, all of which al-Qaeda has claimed responsibility, would've been prevented.

Something just don't fly.

Why would wire tapping American phones have affected any of those attacks?

Not that I'm all that excited about warrantless wiretaps. You statement just made little if any sense.

Terrorist plots have been uncovered before, and a lot of the details are unknown as to how they were cracked (we do not want terrorists to know how we do it), so there is a lot of gray area in wat you are saying.

Sleeper cells are a tough thing to break, I reckon.
