2. And the refusal of the GOP to dismiss this idea
lands us where we are. They have little problem in making W King and outlawing any thoughts disagreeing with his. They wish to appear subservient while reaping the profits for doing so.

5. What Bush said and what he didn't say -
What he said is in the quotes; what he didn't say is in the brackets.

``I authorized the National Security Agency, consistent with U.S. law and the Constitution,





"to intercept the international communications of people with known links to al Qaeda and related terrorist organizations."
