They never needed to violate our privacy this way during the cold war. Now they need to against terrorists with box cutters. Give me a break!

Bush said he would not agree to giving the House more time to debate a measure the Senate passed Tuesday governing the government's ability to work with telecommunications companies to eavesdrop on phone calls and e-mails between suspected terrorists.
It's soooooo important....Sooooooooooooo important, because we could be attacked again any minute now. Any minute that is why you can't talk about it over 2 hours. HORSESHIT! If they have any sense at all, they will tell him to shove it...
