non-Fisa wiretapping in Yahoo email

Congressman Brad Sherman, in very short order (advert + video stream), gets to the heart of the recent NSA Wiretapping and email concerns and touches briefly on the extreme ambiguity as to what constitutes "terrorism suspicion".

The top lawyer at Yahoo, bless his heart, can't answer the question. If he would only just say "I don't know, the rules aren't clear", but instead he falls back on lawyer-speak. Saying essentially that "Yahoo would not break the law".

Sad.

I don't know how long this link will be live since News.com doesn't support perma-linking. Perhaps there's some public link to a transcription available, but I don't have time to track it down at the moment.
