Who will be President?

How about YOU tell me how something implemented in 1978 is George Bush's fault?

Did you even read the article? Until 2001 they could only be used if there was probable cause of terrorism, and even then compliance was voluntary.

And in 2001, we went to war against terrorists. In a war, you spy on the enemy to figure out what they're up to. Like back in WWII when we broke the Japanese and German codes. You may not want to know what Al Qaeda is up to, but I sure as hell do. When you're going after the drug cartels it's OK to wait until they've made the sale, then arrest them. In a war against terrorists, it's simply not good enough to wait until AFTER they've killed a bunch of people then spring into action.
