If the Dems did say something, it would have been labelled by Bush and his party as the Democrats being 'weak on the war on terror'. Even if they did say something back then, would it have done any good? I'm thinking, no. Bush owns this one. Not anyone else. Bush.

No, everybody who signed off on it should be held accountable for having done it. The president, the head of NSA, whatever agency people did it and approved of it. Any senators and congresspeople aware of it and not stopping it.

Political cowardice is not a good excuse for signing off on something that is wrong, particularly if it is illegal (I don't know if it is illegal, I do know that I think it was wrong).
