THE LASTEST SHAMMITY WHOPPER

(Via Crooks & Liars)

Hannity: If Osama Bin Laden calls the United States, they're saying we need to go spend 76 hours and get a court order before we can record that phone conversation-that's how asinine their logic is.

The truth is that FISA allows a tap to be in place for 72 hours before getting a warrant but I'm sure this lie will turn up on the AOL message boards. In case of a formal declaration of war, the President has 15 days from the declaration to tap without a warrant.
