Americans want warrants for government snooping

Let's hope the Kremlin, errrr, the White House hears about this poll. How about the Democrats start making a little more noise on this national disgrace as well? Who would imagine that after fifty years of the Cold War, the US (and UK) would become just like the Soviet Union and other dictatorships? Disgusting.

...56 percent of respondents in an AP-Ipsos poll said the government should be required to first get a court warrant to eavesdrop on the overseas calls and e-mails of U.S. citizens when those communications are believed to be tied to terrorism.

"We're a nation of laws. ... That means that everybody has to live by the law, including the administration," said Ahr, 64, a Democrat who argues for checks and balances. "For the administration to simply go after wiretaps on their own without anyone else's say-so is a violation of that principle." (This guys really gets it.)
