programs are legal and overseen by the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Court. He also said the programs “achieved the
right balance” between protecting Americans’ safety and their
privacy.  “Both programs are conducted under laws passed by
Congress,” Cole said.  The 11 judges on the secret FISA court
