I know that breaking the law is central to the Administration's strategy, but that is irrelevant when trying to justify it.

If the enemy communicates to coordinate, that is where they are vulnerable. We can't stymie nor defeat them unless we find ways to know their plans and their thinking, hmmm?

Then get a goddamn warrant.

I'd further point out that neither Happy Monkey nor anyone else, anyone else at all, has come up with a way to prosecute this war that is any different or any better -- better meaning that we, the democracies, are likely to win.

Better international policework. It is not possible to fight "terrorism" with military force.
