For targets outside the US, even if the other person is inside.

So you probably shouldn't ask who this administration has warrantless wiretapped, because the answer is not "nobody".

I suppose it's to much to expect for you to see how ridiculous what you wrote is. stevenleser Jul 2013 #8

WITH warrants? nt jazzimov Jul 2013 #11

You asked who Obama was wiretapping without a warran, and I gave you the answer Federosky Jul 2013 #12

Of course I knew that. The question is, why do you think it is significant. What do you think the stevenleser Jul 2013 #13

Jazzimov asked you a question, and you totally ignored it (See post #11) Federosky Jul 2013 #17

Its the same inane question you asked. Did you ever think the CIA or NSA got warrants to spy on stevenleser Jul 2013 #18

face it. you thought warrants were required. you learned otherwise in this thread Federosky Jul 2013 #19

Face it, you're trying to spin what you are presenting as something new or different. It's not. stevenleser Jul 2013 #20

OF COURSE the NSA " ever" got warrants to spy on foreign people Federosky Jul 2013 #22

LOL, now you are claiming the CIA and NSA have always gotten warrants to spy on foreigners! stevenleser Jul 2013 #28

You asked me if the NSA/CIA "ever" got a warrant for a foreigner Federosky Jul 2013 #29

LOL! You're still doing it!!!!! Oh this is too good! stevenleser Jul 2013 #30

That's incorrect. If a foreign target speaks to ANYONE, American or not, no court order is required Federosky Jul 2013 #16

So Christie thinks Bush's policies work. Got it. nt RedCappedBandit Jul 2013 #6

Not really. Obama got bin Laden treestar Jul 2013 #9

And Bush got Saddam. bigwillq Jul 2013 #15
