Neil Boortz Is Full Of Crap

Yeah, tell you something you didn't know.

I was listening to the loud mouth on my way to work this morning when he posited the following scenario.

(Paraphrased)Let's say that there is an al-Qaeda bomb maker in Pakistan and
he calls someone in Ramallah. The NSA picks up this conversation, notifies the
authorities, the guy is picked up. Let's say the same bomb maker in Pakistan
calls someone in Bali or Malaysia. The NSA picks up this conversation, notifies
security forces and the guy is picked up. Now, let's say the bomb maker in
Pakistan calls someone in the U.S. and the NSA disconnects because they can't
listen to a call in the U.S. What happens a few days later when this terrorist
blows up a movie theater?

Hogwash.

Here's what would really happen. NSA picks up the calls from the Pakistani bomber. Records the call. Applies to the FISA court for a retroactive warrant. There is no chance the FISA court would not grant the warrant. Given the evidence of the phone call, the NSA now notifies local authorities who possessing the phone tap evidence get their own warrant and apprehend the U.S. suspect. All legal. All constitutional. And all possible within 24 hours of the initial phone call.

And people accuse "liberals" of being chicken littles?

The next time I hear someone call Boortz a libertarian, I'm going to vomit on their shoes.
