Denny: Don't you think its a little strange that Bush is not willing to tap a phone, and then go to court AFTER THE FACT to get a warrant?
That's what FISA permits. You can tap and then request a warrant UP TO THREE DAYS LATER.
So, there's no worry that red tape will hold you up in getting a warrant, and then there will be another 9/11 in the time you were waiting for a warrant, because you can tap without a warrant, and then request one later.
I have to assume that if Bush doesn't want anyone knowing who he's tapping, he's tapping his political opponents.
And BTW: Did you know that the NSA was illegally spying on UN members here in Manhattan, in order to blackmail them into keeping their mouths shut when we went to the UN seeking permission to go to war with Iraq?
Doesn't ANY of this scare you?
