Although some of us voted for and others against the amendment, we all agree that there are lingering questions and concerns about the current 215 collection program. These include:
· Whether the bulk metadata telecommunications collection program sufficiently protects the privacy and civil liberties of Americans.
· Whether the program could be tailored more narrowly to better ensure the protection of privacy and civil liberties.
· Whether the law is being implemented in a manner consistent with Congressional intent.
· How we can ensure greater transparency regarding FISA court operations, decision making, and issuance of orders.
· Whether changes to the current FISA Court structure are needed.
BTW, the Foreign Policy article about this was wrong about the letter because it states there was both a personal letter and a group letter.

Nothing better than www.emptywheel.net (and Glenn) to demarcate the honest and/or effective oppositional attempts from the deceptive or ineffectual on an ongoing basis.
Emptywheel & Glenn have been doing great work for years. I'm still waiting for Pres. Obama to realize that the NSA programs are a "real and present danger."
