Idiots

WaPo:

Mehlman and Rove accused the Democrats of trying to weaken the USA Patriot Act and of embracing calls for a premature exit from Iraq. They defended Bush's use of warrantless eavesdropping to gather intelligence about possible terrorist plots. "Do Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean really think that when the NSA is listening in on terrorists planning attacks on America, they need to hang up when those terrorists dial their sleeper cells in the United States?" Mehlman asked.

If I may speak for Dean and Pelosi, the answer would be no. The FISA courts would no doubt authorize such an exchange, and there would be no need to break the law in order to listen in to what was being said.

It would have been nice to see the Post to go to Dean or Pelosi and ask them for a response, or at least explain the faulty logic in his argument. Instead, the Post leaves it untouched.
