Talking Sense on "Spying"

Requiring warrants for computerized surveillance is absurd and dangerous to national security.

Heather MacDonald of City Journal takes on the issues in the so-called "domestic spying scandal" in this article while also looking at the computer technology which makes it possible. The Angry Left, of course, is using this language as a means of preventing the American people from understanding what the issue is all about. For this is not "domestic," a "scandal" or "spying" for that matter. What this is, as Heather MacDonald so clearly explains, is the use of computer technology to try to find those few phone calls which are coming from terrorists over seas which might provide us with information about what attacks and other mischief they are up to. And when the American people understand that the idea here is to protect them and their families from terrorist attacks, it makes the Angry Left look just as pathetic as they really are.
