I completely disregarded the speculation by Mr. Bamford. Being a Viet Nam Veteran is admirable, but does not qualify him as a mind reader.

The 'fact' that the court denied and/or altered Mr. Bush's requests to eavesdrop on suspected terrorists while approving more than 18,000 others seemed a viable justification for avoiding the FISA court.

I hope our contry continues to eavesdrop on anyone who communicates with terrorists. If we had intercepted such communication before 9/11, perhaps we could have avoided that horrific loss of life.
