For example, under one particular provision of fisa, were not allowed to target either United States persons or persons within the United States. Sometimes it happens that we think somebody is not a u. S. Person and then we discover, oh, my gosh, this person has a green card. We didnt know that before. And the rules are at that point, you have to go and purge the collection you have to report it to the fisa court.

And that is obviously essential. These threats i mean, its most obvious in cyber but it is true across the board, you know, Mother Nature doesnt really know borders and we saw that as we contemplating the potential consequences of the aftereffects of the tsunami in japan. Terrorism clearly is a transnational crime. We have to have that international piece. The tenyear, again, the landscape changes so rapidly that it is an incredibly hard challenge to think about what we might confront.
