Today's Quote

"Contrary to the speculation reflected in some media reporting, the terrorist surveillance program is not a dragnet that sucks in all conversation and uses computer searches to pick out calls of interest. No communications are intercepted unless first it is determined that one end of the call is outside of the country, and professional intelligence experts have probable cause [that is, 'reasonable grounds to believe'] that a part to the communication is a member or agent of al-Qaeda or an affiliated terrorist organization."

-- Attorney General Alberto Gonzales
