Forget Privacy, we need to spy more.
This archaic law(FISA) should be euthanized. Replace it with legislation that gives the president permission to order any surveillance deemed necessary, subject to only one proviso: If it is later determined that an intelligence-gathering operation was not ordered for legitimate national security objectives — if, for instance, it was designed to gather dirt on political opponents — then the culprits would be punished with lengthy prison sentences.
I see your "lengthy prison sentence" and raise you a "rendition" and a side bet of "death sentence" for treason. I'm sure the inhabitants of the White House would agree. They're certainly not "civil liberties absolutists."
Either that or blow me.
