Something I've always wondered
If you're told a call may be monitored for whatever reason, shouldn't you be able to record the call regardless of local laws? The idea being that both parties already know the call can be monitored and proceeding apparently indicates consent (the party recording is almost never explicitly stated.)

He apparently made the decision (without asking the White House) to have the National Intelligence Council put together a memo explaining that releasing the details of how the CIA tortured people would "inflame anti-U.S. passions in the Mideast, resulting in potentially violent street protests and threats to U.S. embassies and personnel."
After all, just a few years ago, he was the one who issued a stinging FISC decision accusing the government of regularly misrepresenting things. And yet, now he's claiming that the government is always nice and open with FISC and wouldn't benefit from having a third party asking questions?
