No one cares that the government can wiretap for 45 days...without warrants?

since no one replied in 2 hours of posting it, I guess it is very safe to say no one cares one bit

Well lets wait for the 45 day free wire tapping day pass and see what happens. Things however don't look to good..look at what senator rockefeller said in that article.

[c312]

but doesn't the article also say the process will be more official and therefore, more secure?

[Machette]

Well lets wait and see.

[c312]

well it says they have to report to a bipartisan committee, I think this is a step towards making this practice more resistant to corruption.

[quote:82ea9]The proposed bill would allow the president to authorize wiretapping without seeking a warrant for up to 45 days if the communication under surveillance involved someone suspected of being a member of or a collaborator with a specified list of terrorist groups and if at least one party to the conversation was outside the United States.[/quote:82ea9]

What's wrong with that?

Trying to find the whistleblowers testimony before congress saying the NSA program reached into the "millions" and it was "very widespread"... damn blog it was on dumped the link though

[Madmartagen]

wtf is so hard about getting a warrant before wiretapping? how retarded can the govt be to have to bypass this process if they want to listen in on someone who is breaking the law?
