The question of legality isn't so much the issue as it is, why on earth they're doing something so dumb and incredibly ineffective? That and perhaps, why isn't this more explicitly illegal like it should be? What Dark Rider said.

It used to be called using a pen data recorder (in the days when I made my living debugging phones & living areas) and as long as the conversation wasn't recorded no laws were broken. Trouble is, doing everybody's phone can provide other data that they want apart from terrorism, etc. This is perfectly legal, not only for cops/spooks, etc. but for anyone.

I guess he must have read the [i]Washington Post[/i]. When will the Democrats actually tell me what they stand for so I can consider their candidate before voting in November? It should be an easy question - you either agree or disagree with this tactic. What's the hold-up? Do they need more information from Gallup to develop a national security platform?

ABC is reporting a poll on the subject this morning and 63% have no problem with the government looking at call records. 66% have no problem with the government looking at their own call records. 51% think Bush is doing a good job protecting individual privacy. They probably figure the phone companies sold this info to "affiliates" long ago. For an unconstitutional travesty the public is certainly unconcerned.

And Congressional Republicans wouldnt let them actually do anything about it anyways.

Reid was briefed but did not complain and Feinstien even supported the Hayden nomination after her briefing but before the information became public.
