Everyone's Phone Calls Database

I am curious as to howthe government has managed to do this. Isn't it the CIA that tried to put in a new computer system and after a couple of hundred million spent had nothing to show for it?

Don't the phone companies keep these records so that if the government really needed to track numbers they could get them when needed, not keep them all just for the heck of it?

What happens when Joe Local police office is curious about phone calls made from some guys house that they just busted for drug dealing? Does he still need a court order or can he just call up a bud at the Justice Dept and get the phone records?

Can Joe local then start knocking on or kicking in everyones' door who called or was called from that phone?

George Orwell's only mistake was the year.

I am a registered Republican. George Bush and his like minded politicos have to go.
