I’d link to them, but the DI’s website sucks. One was basically, “well why didn’t Bush just go to FISA?” It’s an interesting question, and entirely independent of the issue at hand, whether it was legal to do what Bush did. Why didn’t he go to FISA? Some say FISA was getting less cooperative but in the end, because he didn’t have to.
The second letter accuses me of factual inaccuracies while not understanding the difference between data-mining and eavesdropping. Just because a call was monitored by this program doesn’t mean that it got flagged for analsys.
At least this time they actually read what I wrote before responding.

The US’s EIA chief has said we can’t get by without Iranian oil. Can we get buy with a nuclear crater that used to be Tel Aviv?
War with Iran may be ugly and require some real sacrifice from the citizens, but if the alternative is sitting on our thumbs when Iran vaporizes Tel Aviv and tells us that they’ve got a nuke pointed at Paris if anyone does anything, then I think I can handle walking to work.
