17. did you read the article? Do you know what the ACLU
thinks of the bill Clinton made into law?

What 4th ammendment rights were still there under Clintons bill?

And, yes, there WERE people who were targeted under Clinton-

In 1995, with the support of the Clinton Administration and a Republican Congress, FISA was expanded to permit the FISA court to authorize physical searches based on the same minimal level of suspicion that could justify electronic surveillance. For the first time in its history, the U.S. government received congressional permission to conduct actual searches of U.S. citizens and legal residents outside the parameters of the Fourth Amendment. At the same time, the Clinton Administration set out to integrate the efforts of the intelligence community and the Justice Department, often at bureaucratic odds. The results have been predictable, if discomfiting. FISA orders have increased from 576 in 1994 to 839 in 1996--a whopping 46 percent.

It isn't as cut and dried, or as simple as any of us might like to make it-

peace~
