spying, evading, lying

read today: Consider these key facts:

First, the president said publicly there was no such program. He said, "Nothing has changed, by the way. When we're talking about chasing down terrorists, we're talking about getting a court order before we do so." He lied.


For weeks, Gonzales, President Bush and others have insisted that the wiretapping program was only applied to suspected terrorists. But just last Sunday, the Washington Post exposed that the program was broad and not limited to suspected terrorists. In a nutshell, it's a fishing expedition and participants are increasingly "uncomfortable with the mountain of data they have now begun to accumulate."


And yesterday, the attorney general said that he could not assure the Senate that the program did not eavesdrop on innocent Americans.
