2. You only need to know two facts
1. Bush knowingly broke the law.

2. He lied to the nation about having done so.

4. The only terrorist they ever point to as having caught is the fool
who was going to destroy the Brooklyn bridge with his welding rig. Their cover for this is "If we told you about all the cases where we foiled terror attempts, it would alert the terrorists".
Face it it is a matter of trust. After gw lying to us at every turn do you trust him now?

The NSA has records on Every Phone Call made in the USA. That includes EVERY NGO, the Kerry campaign, every call every lawyer made, you name it.

The point of SECRET SPYING is that is it SECRET. You can not prove you have been harmed because the bastards that are harming you are keeping it SECRET for your own good,


Do you get it?

5. Call the reporters at USA Today--
why are you asking a bunch of pissed-off Americans on a nmessage board? :eyes:

It's a fresh story, for pity's sakes.
