The New SS--Shift Supervisors
From Whitehouse.gov by way of First Draft:
Q And who determined that these targets were al Qaeda? Did you wiretap them?Mmmmmmm...donuts...
GENERAL HAYDEN: The judgment is made by the operational work force at the National Security Agency using the information available to them at the time, and the standard that they apply -- and it's a two-person standard that must be signed off by a shift supervisor, and carefully recorded as to what created the operational imperative to cover any target, but particularly with regard to those inside the United States.
Q So a shift supervisor is now making decisions that a FISA judge would normally make? I just want to make sure I understand. Is that what you're saying?
