If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention
Did you know that President Bush and his Justice [sic] Department now have the power to monitor phone calls and communications whenever one party is reasonably believed to be outside the United States? The so-called Protect America Act of 2007 (PubLNo. 110-55) withdraws these communications from the definition of "electronic surveillance" in FISA.
They don't need to get court approval. They don't need to have anyone outside the Attorney General's office review the surveillance. And it appears that there does not have to be evidence that the person being monitored is an agent of a foreign power or an agent of international terrorism.
