Speech #1100132385

Where before the provision said you cannot target a foreign person if the "purpose" is to target a U.S. person. the new language adds the ambiguous term "significant purpose." If this amendment became law. an analyst would now have to ask himself the following question when targeting a terrorist overseas: Is a "significant purpose" of why I am targeting this foreign terrorist overseas the fact that the terrorist may call. A. an airline in America to make flight reservations or. B. a terrorist with a green card living in the USA? If the answer is yes. then the language in this amendment would require a warrant to listen to that foreign terrorist overseas. Do foreign terrorists overseas deserve protections from the courts in the United States?
