That's a good one. At what point is information too old to be valuable? For example, the Constitution is getting along in years ... Carter is highly qualified to speak to the intent of FISA. I found his words - especially with regard to "review by the courts and Congress" - striking when compared to the reality of today, when Bush has authorized secret electronic surveillance of U.S. persons without getting a warrant and without any judicial or Congressional oversight ... exactly what FISA was designed to prevent! I found Carter's statements to be highly revealing, informative, and applicable to today's discussions on Bush's domestic spy program.
