The section 1802 justification that the right is using for spying.....

[Flabbergasted]

is CRAP.

Sec. 1802. Electronic surveillance authorization without court order; certification by Attorney General; reports to Congressional committees; transmittal under seal; duties and compensation of communication common carrier; applications; jurisdiction of court

(a)(1) Notwithstanding any other law, the President, through the
Attorney General, may authorize electronic surveillance without a
court order under this subchapter to acquire foreign intelligence
information for periods of up to one year if the Attorney General
certifies in writing under oath that -
(A) the electronic surveillance is solely directed at -
(i) the acquisition of the contents of communications
transmitted by means of communications used exclusively between
or among foreign powers, as defined in section 1801(a)(1), (2),
or (3) of this title; or
(ii) the acquisition of technical intelligence, other than
the spoken communications of individuals, from property or
premises under the open and exclusive control of a foreign
power, as defined in section 1801(a)(1), (2), or (3) of this
title;
(B) there is no substantial likelihood that the surveillance
will acquire the contents of any communication to which a United
States person is a party

Section B says you can not in any circumstance spy on legal aliens or citizens without a warrant. Hahahah.


If you've seen this stuff as a justification realize that this is a seperate issue. Bush is extending 1802 to allow spying on US citizens without justification or warrant.

All the information of the Bush order itself has NOT come out so don't get fooled into thinking its legal.
