Big Brother Bush Breaking Laws And Lying About It Bush, CHeney and Gonzalez are on public record as promising that any domestic wiretapping will come with a warrant. They lied publicly to the people and congress. If you're not worried about this, you SHOULD be. Bushies' covert abuses of power could threaten the very foundation of our great democracy. No one is safe from their psying. Not even reporters, prosecutors, judges, senators, investigators, vote-counters, political opponents, etc. They can stick their fat noses into anyone's business, just like Big Brother in 1984. No difference. All types of unfair play and treachery could be unveiled if a president can tap anyone he wants. It is like Nixon with a supercomputer, 100 times worse than Watergate and, of course, none of it netted a single terrorist. Also, Bush, Cheney and Gonzalez have all publicly lied about this. So count perjury as another strike against them.

The issue for Bush is why did he not go to the FISA courts. Hey, I am repeating what a Republican Senator has asked Bush. The issue for Bush is why did he not approach Congress to change the law. Hey, I am repeating what a Democratic Senator has asked Bush. Russert on "Meet the Press" program yesterday played a video clip from Bush's campaign speech in Buffalo during 2004 where he very clearly said that he is aware he needs court approval for wiretaps on American citizens. When he knew that was the law, then why did he deliberately violate the law. Didn't he also try to mislead the US public that he was not spying on them. That response was not to any question he was asked on the issue. So why did he mislead the US public. The US public will agree that he can very well mislead non-US citizens like Al Qaeda. But the US public?
