I'm sure he's going to once again try to defend his unconscionable domestic spying, for one thing.

It's a bad thing because there's no oversight to determine if they're actually only spying on terrorists. ;)

Who gets to determine who is a terrorist?

I'm sure he'll also be trying to excplain why it's a good thing to have Democracy in Afghanistan and Iraq but bad in Palestine. He's opened one heck of a can of worms with his nation-building (incidentally something he specifically promised not to do in 2000), that's for sure.

It's a bad thing when we get political around here too. You know better!!!!

This was not started as a political thread. Let's keep it that way.

If you call 1-800-BIN-LADEN. Your phone calls are probably and hopefully being listen to...If you are calling Mary Beth in france you should not be listed too....

without stating the obvious in your example how do they possibly know who is and is not a terrorist. What if an Iraqi calls family in Iraq? I smell discrimination.

these comments have NOTHING to do with my statement about a press conference! Please heed Chad's advice and go to a political forum elsewhere to rant.

Their are somethings the goverment do that has to be done in secercy...If the goverment thinks someone is a terrorist and want to spy on them to get further information I'm fine with that...For some reason that person has said or done something to get him on the watch list...I'm glad the goverment is at least doing something...If we all new who they are spying on then the bad people will no this and we will not know what they are up to and bad things will happen...
