From the Friday document dump. (6PM Friday, after the evening news.)
So, either there are 3,501 terrorists in the US, or the FBI is either abusing the Patriot Act to spy on non-terrorists, or they'e conducting warrantless searches through a patriot act workaround.

funny at how a reasonable person can deduce that. However, we just dont have the proper perspective to see it the way say Al Gonzales might see it.

I'm just surprised that it is only that amount of people. I would think the numbers higher myself. Seems like a conservative number to me coming from a bunch that is THAT paranoid and 'willful'.

Left o' center, I have given up trying to seee things the way Gonzales sees them. I never got past the fact that he signed of on an interpretation of US law that allows torture.
Sumo, I kind of agree, but these are not the only ones being monitored, just the ones that got warrantless NS letters. And, in the paperwork obsessed and bureaucratic FBI, an NSL leaves a papertrail, so I would guess that the tend to shy away from them by and large. As we've seen from other areas of the government, the number of people under investigation is probably much larger.
