With the recent media hype regarding domestic monitoring of certain individuals by the NSA at the current administration's request and only AFTER 9/11 had taken place, why has everyone forgotten about other such instances of domestic monitoring, such as the Aldrich Ames case where Clinton authorized spying on a U.S. citizen without a warrant?

In a little-remembered debate from 1994, the Clinton administration argued that the president has "inherent authority" to order physical searches — including break-ins at the homes of U.S. citizens — for foreign intelligence purposes without any warrant or permission from any outside body. Even after the administration ultimately agreed with Congress's decision to place the authority to pre-approve such searches in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court, President Clinton still maintained that he had sufficient authority to order such searches on his own.

It's not Blondie.

For those who don't know who she is, please go back to listening to whatever it is that you listen to. Thank you. :)
