The controversy was that they were eavesdropping on people in this country who had been communicating with known terrorists overseas. That was what the controversy was over. I can't belive that anyone would have a problem with this. I guess people were upset that they were doing it without getting a warrant from a judge. Our government's argument is that it is a highly secretive program and they don't want to have to get permission from a judge to get a wiretap on a person that they know has been communicating with known terrorists. In addition, I don't think that CIA agents and other government operatives want a judge to tell them how to do an investigation.

All of this information is available in all kinds of different articles Rupert both right wing and left wing. I don't feel like pulling them up because you will ignore what they say even if I do. I don't have a problem with them eavesdropping in on people who are contacting known or suspected terrorists, but according to some of these articles, they are doing more than that. Our government is doing a lot of things wrong. That is why some of Bush's former strong GOP supporters, such as John Warner of VA, are even starting to disagree with him. This is all over the news.
