Guess who's back...back again....

The long and short of what is relevant for the purposes of this thread is a court with the ability to 'blacklist' people though the House Of Unamerican Activities Comittee. By it's very nature every step of this required that blind and dangerous brand of patriotism that is once again rearing it's ugly head.

Cairo: FISC _USED_ to handle foreign intelligence only. Under USA PATRIOT, it can now handle even ordinary criminal stuff as long as John Ashcroft says it's OK. This means all the shortcuts taken by FISC and supposedly usable only against foreign agents can now be used against US citizens with impunity. THAT is the danger.

russotto,
Your wrong, read it again. If the FISC handles anything other than Foreign Intelligence, it would cease to be called The Foreign Intelligence Surveilance Court. The Patriot Act clearly states that when the FISC issues a Court order to surveil a foreign terrorist and in the process of CIA surveilance that foreign terrorist is taped plotting with an American citizen...the FISC doesn't have to order a stop of surveilance, because the CIA is, in fact, still following that same foreign terrorist. See?
