The NSA wire-tapping legislation being discussed in Congress is interesting. The Democrats appear to want to make it illegal for the military to eavesdrop on foreign individuals in foreign countries without a warrant. I think that such legislation would clearly be unconstitutional. One blog I read, I forgot if it was A. J. Strata, Tom Maguire, or Mac Ranger, suggested that under this law the military would have had to go to a judge to get a warrant in WWII when we intercepted German messages in the Enigma code, or Japanese messages in their code that we had broken. I suppose it would have been illegal to steal the Enigma machine. And, I suppose the New York Times would have revealed the Ultra Secret since Americans have a right to know the nefarious things their government is doing. The Democrats have clearly gone 'round the bend; Bush has driven them mad. If the current batch of Democrats had been running the country during WWII we would have lost the war.
