U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales plans to tell a Senate committee on Monday that President George W. Bush’s warrantless domestic surveillance program is carefully targeted and “not a dragnet,” Time magazine reported on its Web site on Saturday.
[…]
“No communications are intercepted unless first it is determined that one end of the call is outside of the country and professional intelligence experts have probable cause … that a party to the communication is a member or agent of al-Qaeda or an affiliated terrorist organization,” Time quoted Gonzales as saying in written responses to questions by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter.

Gonzales plans to say that seeking approval for wiretaps from the secret court could lead to delays that “may make the difference between success and failure in preventing the next attack,” Time said.

This should be good! Apparently, Gonzales will perform never-before-attempted feats of brazenry on live tv on Monday. Namely, he will explain – to you, me and some extremely skeptical senators – why 72 hours are not enough to obtain a wiretap warrant from the FISA court even “when professional intelligence experts have probable cause … that a party to the communication is a member or agent of al-Qaeda”. Boy, this should be good!
