In reply to: It clearly cannot be used on "US persons". Only on foreign entities (including governments). Read it more carefully. And you think its still ok to go on and invading say, North Korea's governmental privacy cause they might be a threat to us? It just seems, like we're trying to impose things on people/governments that we have to right to.

We sure as hell have a right to. If a nation with a crackball dictator who has a history of being irresponsible is working on nuclear weapons and is rattling his saber, we not only have a right, we have a responsibility to use our best intelligence to find out what is going on.Do you think if US intelligence could have prevented 9/11 we shouldn't have used it because that would have been violating the privacy of al-Quada?

Yes. Tragedies happen, but a right to humans privacy shouldn't be infrindged upon, especially if its just because we don't like them right now.

It's not just because we don't like them
It's because they are possibly a threat.
If we let someone's right to privacy take priority over our need to protect ourself, we would have ceased to exist decades ago. The same could be said of most nations in the world.
