[QUOTE="av8torntn, post: 366914, member: 8259"] Ok I thought you guys were talking about the FISA laws. My bad. So who funds this super secret program that you know about and I would say if it is Congress there is your oversight. If it is a private citizen that is funding this secret program then I can see where you are claiming there is no oversight. I can also see where this should be illegal. I take that back after skimming through the posts again you guys were talking about FISA. Even the original article is about FISA. Congress has oversight not only in funding but in specific subcommittees. After a quick google search there has also been full committee oversight hearings on the FBI's use of these laws which seems to go beyond what is required by the FISA law. You are right I have no idea what is in the new FISA bill but I am guessing since it passed the President will sign it and it will become the new law. The old laws allowed for warrant-less surveillance as I am sure the new law does. It seems odd that some of the same people that want to expand constitutional rights to non citizens in foreign countries through things like FISA laws have lots of problems with expanding our form of democracy to other parts of the world. Anyhow it seems to me that the FISA laws go to extreme measures to protect citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures. [/QUOTE]
