Some facts for Bobert Amos and the other whiners and scared rabbits:

If you read to the end of the same NYT article you will find these facts to ponder:

"the Constitution vests in the President inherent authority to conduct warrantless intelligence surveillance (electronic or otherwise) of foreign powers or their agents, and Congress cannot by statute extinguish that constitutional authority."
"Warrants are still required for eavesdropping on entirely domestic-to-domestic communications"

A secret program? No one knew? "Rockefeller, the West Virginia Democrat who became vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee that year, wrote a letter to Mr. Cheney expressing concerns about the program" "Aside from the Congressional leaders, only a small group of people, including several cabinet members and officials at the N.S.A., the C.I.A. and the Justice Department, know of the program"

If you are not communicating to a foeirgn country such as Afghanistan and if you are not on a terrorist watch list you have nothing to worry about so all of you scared rabbits can dry your eyes disassemble and go back in your individual holes and feel safe again due to the dilligence and laedership of the Bush administration.

Your asses might have already been saved by such operations and you would never know about it. But still your neurotic personalities gives you the need to complain about something. Complain about the asshole that just got elected president of Bolivia.
