As the White House comes under fire for the "domestic spy program" of monitoring calls, its defenders justify the program by claiming the only calls truely monitored are those to countries like Iraq and Afghanistan. Here's a scenario that they would likely defend:
I'm a U.S. citizen, born and raised, with family in Afghanistan. If I place a call to the country to speak with members of my immediately family, there's a decent chance that the government could monitor my call.
Doesn't that violate my constitutional rights as a citizen? Can anyone legitimately defend that?
