"However, it's kind of odd seeing the President defending a program that the phone companies say doesn't exist. Perhaps the NSA spooks hacked the carrier's records without their knowledge?" If that's the case, then why did MY phone company, Qwest, REFUSE to provide the requested records because they thought the government had no legal basis to demand them? I think there's MUCH more the government is hiding than what we're being told and what we've learned from patriotic leakers. Perhaps we'll know more after the '06 elections and ensuing investigations? nytimes.com Let's face it - the Repugnican congress isn't doing ANY oversight at all, over an out-of-control President I call the "chimp Caesar" - because he thinks he IS one, one who makes up his own laws on the spot!
