USAToday is reporting that the NSA has recorded the phone conversations of Tens of Millions of phonecalls from American citizens. The White House is facing a bi-partisan storm over this with some members of Congress threatening to subpena the executives of the major telephone executives as well as White House official in order to explain the incident. Other members are demanding an immediate criminal investigation over the affair.

Ok, I voted no. I have a very hard time believing that 10 of millions are all related to the war on terror. The ability to record a conversation without a warrent would be already hard to justify if it were just one or two people. But we are talking about 10 of Millions of phonecalls! There is no way they can be all terror related, its simply impossible there are simply not that many terrorists in the world. Besides FICA (secret court that issues snap Federal warrents) is entirely pro-govornment. 95% of its decisions come on the side of government. The excuse "not having time to get a warrent" is simply BS.
This is nothing more than government espionage of its citizenry.
