NSA Spying: Contrary Voices

This is a link to Schneier. His discussion goes around Eschelon and FISA. Unfortunately, It doesn't appear that he has spent much time looking at the legal arguments that don't meet his conclusion.

There is a link to this Salon article on the illegality of the spying. (Schneier calls this article "excellent analysis" while giving Volokh and Concurring Opinions no such enthusiasm in his description. I suppose that is due to their not agreeing with him.) The article discusses the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer, case, but doesn't take the argument to the depths seen at QandO. Nor does the analysis go anywhere near the detail that was seen in the Volokh Conspiracy's entry on the topic.

Informative on dissenting views that at least show intelligent thought.
