"The admission that Bush's spying program uses a 'reasonable suspicion' standard rather than a 'probable cause' standard is explosive and damning. Why? Because the Bush administration knew--indeed, took the position--that a reasonable suspicion standard with respect to non-U.S. citizens was probably unconstitutional. Yet the administration now applies that same unconstitutional standard to United States citizens?" -- georgia10, 2006-01-24

...except it's worst than that, if the article in the Washington Post on Sunday is any indication. A "reasonable suspicion" standard would lead to the expectation that something like a quarter or more of the snoopings would lead to parties worthy of deeper investigation. The actual results would appear to be shy of that by an order of magnitude or three.

The spying program is nothing less than a trawling operation without even the dubious benefit of a fish-finder.
