You think terrorists are so stupid they don’t think we’re spying on them, or our society so fragile we should just trust the president to shred the constitution? Yes, it says international calls - on a White House document. As the last 6 years have shown, White House documents under this administration are worth about zip.

If this isn’t the case, why do they have such a hard time simply coming straight about this program?

Yes, let’s publicly air every single tactic being used by the Administration to find & track terrorists. Cause we all know that there’s no way a terrorist will be able to get ahold of a copy of the NYT or, Allah forbid, log on to the Internets and adjust their activities accordingly.

…it’s still spying on Americans in America.

Except … not so much. The item Media Matters links to expressly describes the program as International Calls only.

G*d D#mn Bush! Who does he think he is trying to stop terrorist attacks?!?

The function of the Federalist Society and similar organizations isn’t to make sound legal arguments, it is to muddy the waters so that the population and the oh so serious press will think there is a legitimate argument that the Constitution allows warrantless wiretaps and other intrusions.

And the “conservative” population supports it, saying that while it is an invasion of privacy, it’s not like the NSA will spy on THEM.
