I am amazed. I'm glad I was sitting down when I read this article, else I would probably have fallen down. It appears the FISA court actually criticized the NSA for warrantless spying on Americans.

And who will ultimately go to jail for this?
If the answer is "Nobody" then the FISA court's criticisms are meaningless.
