Obama And FISA

By The Daily Dish
Jul 3 2008, 9:49 AM ET

Greenwald is not letting go and, as often, he has a point:

In the past, Obama has opposed the type of warrantless eavesdropping which those PAA orders authorize. He's repeatedly said that the FISA court works and there's no need to authorize eavesdropping without individual warrants. None of that can be reconciled with his current claim that he supports this FISA "compromise" because National Security requires that those PAA orders not expire and that there be massive changes to FISA. It's just as simple as that.
