Spanky --
Balt was mistaken. The President was using a rhetorical device called an analogy. The Osama bin Laden calls were not related to this issue at all.
P.S. I think that the NSA needs to get warrants to monitor phone calls beginning or ending in the United States, even if those calls are going to or coming from overseas.
The FISA, etc. does not apply to calls taking place entirely outside the U.S.
