Sigh...

Lemme try to explain this to the ACLU again...

Our laws and constitutional protections stop at our borders, with one exception. Citizens of the United States of America still retain their constitutionally guaranteed and protected rights when abroad.

Foreigners and aliens only receive such when they are legally inside our borders.

What this means:
It is 100% constitutional and legal for the USA government to listen to every single word spoken or to read every letter and e-mail written by a foreign national in another nation. If said national doesn't like it, it is up to that nation to do something about it, not the US. If our tapping is illegal there, then we are breaking their laws. But there is nothing in the Constitution forbidding Congress from passing laws which violate the laws and sovereignty of other nations and their citizens.
