Garbage. It was created in a misguided attempt to weaken the executive branch of the government, particularly in light of Nixon's abuses of power. It is a flawed piece of legislation that gets in the way of the US' ability to protect itself. I offer this for your review:
http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2006/01/moussaoui_911_fisa_how_the_lef_1.htmlGiven the abuses that took place in the past, it is not surprising that people want to hold onto FISA. Yet to continue to pretend that FISA, when read as it was intended to be read, doesn’t create a hurdle that makes terrorist investigations more difficult than common sense would suggest is necessary is itself a myth.
