You don't get it of coarse Bush's government has "logic" and "law" behind their breaking the law.
This still doesn't stop them from having broke it.
Congress created the FISA and it is very flexible. Bush could have after a wiretap was already established asked the court for authorization and rarely has the court refused a wiretap. One has to ask why circumvent the judiciary when congress place it the way of unfettered powers for good reasons?
Can we trust Bush? I don't think so and with good reason. He did this to avoid judiciary oversight and he is not to be trusted to tell the truth. You are a reasonably nice guy Larry so I don't understand why you seriously want to side with this piece of scum? Why? Would you have supported Clinton in his criminal actions?
