Dave,
I'm sure Dan is good at whatever he does, but he has not the
slightest clue
as to what he is talking about on this issue. It is a FELONY for NSA to
listen in on an American citizen without a warrant. A US citizen
could be
exchanging cookie recipes with OBL himself and it would be illegal to
monitor the communication without a warrant. This is beyond dispute.

Considering how it is the mission of the NSA to intercept all
communications traffic that enters or leaves our shores, no matter if
the originator or recipient is a US Citizen or not, I find it hardly
surprising that this is even newsworthy. Traffic from an American
citizen on US soil to a foreign national abroad is notable SIGINT
traffic that doesn't require a warrant because it is monitoring the
foreign national. Transversely, traffic from a foreign national
abroad to an American citizen on US soil is also notable SIGINT
traffic as it is also monitoring a foreign national.
