"Stratfor has repeatedly carried the water regarding breaches of the Fourth

Amendment on the part of the Obama and Bush administrations. I have read

several times that Obama was obligated to permit breaches of privacy rights,

or that Bush's hands were tied on the matter, and that warrants are still

acquired before the government begins listening in on internet traffic/calls.

The FISA laws as written pose no temporal issues for the surveillance

agencies, since it permits beginning surveillance 72 hours before asking for

a warrant (which are almost always approved anyway). Such oversight is

shirked not for reasons of security, but freedom to act without concern for

rights or the law. Obama's hand was not forced because the country wouldn't

have suffered from the FISA process being maintained.

 

I greatly respect Stratfor's analysis and intelligence, but I believe that

Stratfor has become engrossed in a myth of security on this issue which does

not seem to match with reality."
