Bush on defensive after new wiretap scandal story breaks
"After September the 11th, I vowed to the American people that our government would do everything within the law to protect them against another terrorist attack. As part of this effort, I authorized the National Security Agency to intercept the international communications of people with known links to al Qaeda and related terrorist organizations. In other words, if al Qaeda or their associates are making calls into the United States or out of the United States, we want to know what they're saying..."Zzzzzzzzzzz... mmmmthp... Yeah. In other words, Bush did not deny the NSA was illegally spying on tens of millions of Americans.
"The idea of collecting millions or thousands of phone numbers, how does that fit into following the enemy?" - Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham.
