Bush proper response should have been that in America free speech is
constitutionally protected and all Americans have a right to their
opinions.

Terrorism can never be erased with force...With force you create more
terrorist... by Jennie

Only way to beat terrorist is to use terrorist tactics...set traps,
snipers.
No amount of conventional warfare will work...

Traitors is DC. A traitor is one who betrays one's country, a cause, or a
trust, especially one who commits treason.

Bush has awakened us, the poor and middle class Americans...We are
watching and waiting to cast our votes...

The Constitution says "We the People" not "We the Special Interest
Groups."

Americans Vote!

Bush said. "It gave the enemy a fantastic opportunity to use it for
propaganda reasons." An Americas expressing his or her constitutional
opinion is now a propaganda tool? I guess King Bush feels free speech is
ok as long as it is support him. What a joke! Bush is loosing it...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSA_warrantless_surveillance_controversy

THE PRESIDENT: I'm going to start off with what you first said, if you
don't
mind, you said that I tap your phones -- I think that's what you said.
You
tapped your phone -- I tapped your phones. Yes. No, that's right. Yes,
no,
let me finish.
I'd like to describe that decision I made about protecting this
country. You
can come to whatever conclusion you want. The conclusion is I'm not
going to
apologize for what I did on the terrorist surveillance program, and
I'll tell
you why.

In this part, the President of the United States establishes that now
is
the time for him to spew out the wiretapping response he has been
programmed with...

We were accused in Washington, D.C. of not connecting the dots, that
we
didn't do everything we could to protect you or others from the
attack. And
so I called in the people responsible for helping to protect the
American
people and the homeland. I said, is there anything more we could do.

Now normally the President vehemently explains that he doesn't listen
to
polls and to critics in general, but this time he appears to have
a different opinion for some reason.

And there -- out of this national -- NSA came the recommendation that
it
would make sense for us to listen to a call outside the country,
inside the
country from al Qaeda or suspected al Qaeda in order to have real-time
information from which to possibly prevent an attack.

Here the President forgets to mention that the FISA process already
existed, with post-surveillance notification being allowed, but that
the
President and his staff decided to do something illegal instead.
Here the President also seems to forget what "suspected" means, and
that in
this country we are innocent until proven guilty.

I thought that made sense, so long as it was constitutional. Now, you
may not
agree with the constitutional assessment given to me by lawyers -- and
we've
got plenty of them in Washington -- but they made this assessment that
it was
constitutional for me to make that decision.

Here the President attempts to use levity to gloss over the fact that
the
great majority believes there are grave constitutional concerns over
his
actions, that it is the Supreme Court's job -- not his staff's -- to
determine what is Constitutional, and that there already was a
Congressionally approved program in place that would have allowed him
to
achieve his stated goals.

I then, sir, took that decision to members of the United States
Congress from
both political parties and briefed them on the decision that was made
in
order to protect the American people.

Here the President forgets that this is not how the Constitutional
system
of checks and balances works. Some self-selected members of Congress
does
not equal Congress.

And so members of both parties, both chambers, were fully aware of a
program
intended to know whether or not al Qaeda was calling in or calling out
of the
country.

Here the President lies about how aware his selected congressional
subjects
were fully aware of his actions. He then refers to the subjects of
investigation "al Queda" again ignoring the fundamental principle of
innocent until proven guilty... a concept we like to use at least
INSIDE
the country.

It seems like -- to make sense, if we're at war, we ought to be using
tools
necessary within the Constitution, on a very limited basis, a program
that's
reviewed constantly to protect us.

Which is why we have the FISA court, not illegal Presidential
interpretation of the Constitution.

Now, you and I have a different -- of agreement on what is needed to
be
protected. But you said, would I apologize for that? The answer --
answer is,
absolutely not. (Applause.)

Here the President fails to speak English, then refuses to apologize
for
breaking the law he is sworn to protect.

Many Republicans have disdain for the law equal to that of Bush Jr.
Only Bush Jr. is arrogant and stupid enough to make it publicly known,
repeatedly.
