The New York times reveales that President George Bush is a power-mad maniac intent on destroying the very country he is sworn to protect.
He has illegaly authorized the NSA to spy on American citizens as part of his "war on terror". That is, wiretaps WITHOUT court approval.
There is no possible reason why this would be required. Is the concern that the US court system has been inflitrated by Al Queda? Spying on Americans is bad enough WITH a court's oversight. But this isn't just bordering on KGB practice, this IS KGB practice.
If being misled into war wasn't a problem. If botching Katrina wasn't a problem. How about this latest revelation of unchecked power in the whitehouse? Bill Clinton was almost impeached for getting fellated. Why is Bush not being impeached?
When will the American people stand up and say that the threat of terrorism does not give the executive branch of our government carte blanche in its dealings? Bush already went too far with Iraq - and now we can only hope it turns out well. But he has gone way beyond the pale with this latest.
