@JayWright: When did he say no calls to known terrorist organizations would be tapped? I can't seem to find that... and he did not lie about there being no domestic wiretapping. Sure enough, no domestic calls were tapped in the leaked records. I see no lie here- please proove it.[EDIT]: and it's not HIM saying that it's no US to US calls, it's the leaked records that show that last time it was done was under the Clinton administration.

If you get a call from someone who is in Al Qaeda or the Hamas or FARC or whatever, yeah, we should be able to listen in on that phone call.People need to be careful not to cry wolf on these issues. It deadens people's sensibilities. What is a perfect way to really dupe the public? Have a loud group of individuals inaccurately portraying such programs as the proverbial wolf... again and again and again... despite their supposed "good" motives... only to have down the line, a real wolf come along... and lo and behold, nobody listens that time.I think a lot of people think they are on a different side... and are incapable of hypocrisy or evil themselves... need to be more humble and consider themselves suspect first, their enemies suspect, next.

JayWright --Those heartless corporations you so hate employ millions. Further, countless numbers of pension funds, mutual funds, etc., are invested in those corporations as well. The more people like you bash them and tear them down the more you hurt everyday average people. A few bad apples, i.e. Enron and Worldcom do not indicate that all are bad. Maybe someday you will work hard and accomplish something of importance, but until then download your porn and smoke your weed and pretend that you matter.

A president's only "DUTY" is to FOLLOW THE FREAKIN LAW.As long as he is within the law he can do whatever the f**k he wants for all I care.

When are you going to learn Whiskey that on the issues, you liberals lose in the public domain everytime.This is exactly why most Americans view the democrats as weak on terror. They will complain all they can about our techniques, yet they have no solutions of their own.And he has it right:+1 for America-1 for terrorist-1 for Democrats in CongressFunny thing is...digg is a soapbox for liberals. Every liberal insane idea dugg up...and every rational and common sense wise conservative idea dugg down. That's why digg is so pathetic.

@whiskeymbI believe ABC reported that Indian officials waterboarded him under CIA direction. But again, you think waterboarding is torture.... I don't.

@merkidemis --The courts' role is not to give advisory opinions. This legal tradition goes all the way back to when John Marshall was cheif justice of the SCOTUS and Thomas Jefferson was president. Congress and the President have plenty of lawyers around to advise them on the legality of programs.
