I don't believe the intelligence community could resist coming here to take a look. Since there are no checks and balances in this system it is impossible to know for sure. aMFlib has a good point, Foreign Intelligence Surveillence should have nothing to do with domestic communications. It is called foreign for a reason. Not to mention that mulitple senators believe these acts taken by Bush are illegal, according to the laws and bills set forth by this nation. There is no justification for these laws being broken, other than the lies made up by the white house press people. How can you have a reason for breaking the laws set forth by our government? These 'reasons' don't work for all the other criminals, why should this be any different? In the end any judge would call said reasoning an a attempt to get out of the charge. Same thing. If it is illegal than it is illegal. No amount of bullshit is going to change these facts!!
