"there hasn't even been a hint" that the program 1s targeted at domesllc dissidents or mnocent bystanders, Chertoft said It's designed to find and stop terrorists. "If you go b:u:k to the post-Sept. II analyses and the 9/11 CommiSSion, the whole message was that we were madequately sens1 t1ve to the need to 1dentify the dots and connect them," he said. '' Nbw, what we ' re trying to do ts gather as many dots as we can, f1gure out wh1ch are the ones that have to be connected and we're gcttmg them connected." he Said While refusmg to discuss how the h1ghly classified program works. Chertotf made 11 pretty clear that It mvolves "data-mmmg" collecting vast amounts of internatiOnal co mmumcauons data, runmng It through computers to spot key words and honmg 111 on potential terrorists. A former prosecutor, federal JUdge and head of the Justice Department's criminal dJvJSJOn , he convmclngly defended the ~rogram's legal bas1s and intelligence value. I asked him why the Bush admnustration can ' t comply w1th the I 978 Fore1gn Intelli gence Surveillance Act (FISA), whr ·h allows the governme nt to conduct "emergency" wiretaps tor 72 hours '~ It 's hard to talk about Morton Kondracke classif1ed stuff," he sa1d, "but suff1ce 1t to say that 1f you have a large volume of data, a large number of (p hone) numbers you're Intercepting, the typical model for any kmd of warrant requ1res you to establish probable cause (that one party IS a foreign agent) on an mdlVIdual number'' FISA warrant applications are inches thtck, he said, and "1f you ' re trying to s1ft through an enormous amount of data very quickly, I thmk 1t would be Impractical." He sa1d that gettmg an ordmary FISA warrant 1s •·a volum1nous, time-consuming process" and "1f. you're culling through IJterally thousands of phone numbers .. you cou ld wmd up with a hu ge pr.oblem managmg the amount of paper you'd have to generate." What f understood Chertoff to be saying is that when data-mmmg produces ev1dence of a terrorist contact , the government w1ll then seek a FISA warrant to ac tually tap the person 's phones or "undertake other kinds of activity m order to disrupt somethmg" As legal authonty tor the program, Chertoff cited a 2002 deCISIOn of the FISA Court of Rev1ew, which 1s one level down from the U.S Supreme Court. holdmg that a pres1dent has "mherent (constJtutJOnal) authonty to conduct warrantless searches to obtain tore1gn mtelhgence mformauon" "We take 11 for granted that the pres1dent does have that authonty,'' the court smd, "and, assummg 11 1s so, FISA co uld not encroach on the pres1denl's get killed ." constitutional powers."
