It's true there's a lot we don't know, but what we DO know rather conclusively suggests the following:

1) domestic "terrorism" as its promoted by Bush-Cheney is a totally bogus scare tactic. There hasn't been serious domestic terrorism since the airlines figured out how to prevent hijacking some years ago. New planes have been equipped with ground override devices for at least the last decade. They don't tell us that because it would make the pointlessness of airport "security" obvious. And of course, it would raise questions about you-know-what.

2) The purpose of FISA surveillance has nothing, but NOTHING, to do with "terrorism." Apart from a pathological desire to know what everyone is thinking, it's a convenient way to control political opposition (organizing, in other words) and maintain advantages over commercial competitors.

FISA is a 100% bogus and unconstitutional piece of shit, and there's a purpose for the fourth amendment: to prevent governments from doing exactly what ours is doing.
