Picking presidential nits

President Bush has gone to great lengths to emphasize the fact that his secret spying program is limited to phone calls and emails which originate here in the United States but which are sent out of the country. He and other administration officials have repeatedly stressed that point-to-point calls and emails which both begin and end inside the United States are not being spying upon without the legally required search warrant.

Doesn't Bush's distinction presume that terrorists are going communicate terror plans with foreign sources? And doesn't that kinda run contrary to the whole point of a terror cell as an entity which doesn't need or require outside direction?
