76. A possible false assumption in discourse on FISA. Was ALL communication illegally captured?
Some of the discourse about the blanket warrants seems to assume such was the illegal wiretap violation. We only know there was an illegal spying program, not the details.

I was informed by someone I consider credible and privileged to insider IT info, that ALL communications were routed overseas to circumvent US Law and the Constitution. Once the traffic passes outside the US territory, it is no longer protected by our laws. The illegality was in the routering of ALL communications.

We should be careful about assumption minimizing Bush's illegality without having details.

Beware those who fashion the debate to minimize the crime with assumptions not based on known facts.
