If they want to put the NSA to good use in defending American's freedom...let em' go and pull up the Lerner emails to Jarret/Obama and open the TRUTH for the public to see.

BTW, profiling Muslims for potential links to radical Muslim terrorist is their job. As long as they are not corrupted like the IRS...whatever.

Excellent article. Thanks.

Personally, I am concerned about the entire FISA oversight process. Probably the best comment in the article;

quote:

Indeed, the government’s ability to monitor such high-profile Muslim-Americans—with or without warrants—suggests that the most alarming and invasive aspects of the NSA’s surveillance occur not because the agency breaks the law, but because it is able to exploit the law’s permissive contours. “The scandal is what Congress has made legal,” says Jameel Jaffer, an ACLU deputy legal director. “The claim that the intelligence agencies are complying with the laws is just a distraction from more urgent questions relating to the breadth of the laws themselves.”


This is a tool in the hands of any President. And it has to have the appropriate oversight. Without the warrant or the finding of the FISA court, we have no way of knowing why they were monitored, or if they should have been.

Given that one of the founders of CAIR is on that list, my sympathy is pretty damn low.

CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a number of federal cases, such as when the Holy Land Foundation was funnelling money to terrorists.

The way you are positioning this it would appear that you misread the article and assume these are the only 5 Americans targeted . You're smarter than that.

This is huge, game changer. So the NSA was doing its job and protecting the country. I know some here are disappointed.

So was this approved by a FISA court or not? Was a warrant lawfully obtained?
