Perhaps they only broke laws because they had to, in order to better protect America. Maybe it was worth it to them, to go to jail rather than to possibly let a terrorist plot suceed. If they made this choice freely, should we just let them go to jail anyway? Do we trust law makers to absolve the right people? Or will the public always assume that these people were just being plain criminals? Is there any way both to protect national security interests AND keep from punishing people who broke the law for a completely justified reason?

No, the law is the law, it was made by people. If you need the law to be something different then make your case and get people to vote for it. If you can't then the law is probably right as it stands.
If you abandon the rule of law then you are heading for dictatorship.

Well, first, wiretapping is a misnomer. Wiretapping is a physical process. ELECTRONIC SURVEILLENCE is far different.
Second, one word for you: Eschelon (Clinton's ES project, far more intrusive than Bush's)
Third, would you mind quoting exactly which law has been broken, and give a source for this? Because as far as I know, FISA has no authority in international matters.
