...House is equally foolish. There is broad, bipartisan agreement on how to legalize the surveillance of phone calls and emails of foreign intelligence targets. The basic principle is this: if a suspicious pattern of calls from a terrorist suspect to a U.S. citizen is found, a FISA court warrant is necessary to monitor those communications. But to safeguard against civil-liberty abuses, all records of clearly nontargeted Americans who receive emails or phone calls from foreign suspects would be, in effect, erased.

Having spent 18 months preparing the case...
...bomb makers was cut down by Iraqi police in Sinaa as recently as August. They say they are in a race against time. "Al-Qaeda is very weak, but all of Fallujah is still afraid," said Al Fallujy, the Sinaa mukhtar. "We've got an opportunity here," said Chief Warrant Officer Steve Townsley, the head of the Marine civil affairs unit there. "Right now we're not so focused on security that we can't focus on business. So let's work together...
