The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

The reason this is going to be an even bigger problem for Bush than the warrentlesss wiretapping is that Joe America never made a phone call to al Queda, but he does make phone calls.

It doesn't matter so much that the conversations weren't tapped, but that they are invading what Americans perceive to be their privacy rights - on MILLIONS of Americans. That spells Trouble with a capital "T."

And with five years since the last foreign terrorist attack on American soil, 8 years before that, and um, never before that ... this is looking to most Americans - I daresay - less lilke a "war" and more like the individual criminal acts they truly are.
