Precedent
No wonder the president looks so calm about the 'spying on US citizens' story.
There is ample presidential precedent for such action, it seems. The Democrats have stepped into yet another trap. The president let them step out onto a limb, and now the White House is slowly releasing information that serves to slice that limb off, slowly.
The Democrats and the press have been playing a game of overhyped story of the month since Bush was re-elected and it makes absolutely no sense at all. The Dems are spending a lot of time, money and energy on an anti-Bush crusade when they really should be looking forward to future elections. After all, Bush's political career is over after this term - he can't run again. Hating him may have some value in emotional release, but it doesn't make political sense.

Hey Slu, been a while - I hope things are going well with the family and you're all having a good holiday season.
So now that the drudge talking point has been debunked how are we going to spin "illegal" spying on american citizens....this is ok with you?
wow, I understand conservative values are always morally relative (I do good / you do bad) (deficits are now good, nation building is now swell, overseas outsourcing helps america....)but you're really ok with this?
Checks and balances are sooo pre 9/11.
19,000 FISA warrants and 5 declined...ya, I can see why Bush needed to take illegal actions and lie to americans about it....hey, as long as he didn't get a hummer and lie about it.
More republican hypocrisy

Bill, good to see you back. Everything is going well on this end of the world.
Still can't say I agree with you at all on political stuff, though, but I hope life is treating you well.
By the way, "hypocrisy?" To quote the Princess Bride, I do not think that word means what you think it means.
