Bart, Just curious how they can hear what you say on your phone when it isn't on? Doesn't seem to that you would be talking on it unless it was on and connected to someone. This came about with your boy bush's Patriot Act. And, before you say it, dems did vote to approve it. And just so you know, NSA has always had the capability to capture phone cons. They just couldn't do it legally on Americans in the states without the Security court issuing a warrant. But then bush didn't feel he needed a warrant even though he could issue the tap orders and still have have 14 days to put forth evidence to get the warrant and the court has NEVER turned down a request for a warrant.
Don't find fault. Find a remedy.
Bart, while I can agree the Bush administration who was on watch during the 9-11 attack really pushed the envelope of what we have typically allowed our government to do in monitoring our phone calls and other forms of communication.
However you seem to forget that Obama and Dems have had almost 4 years to change these rules implemented under Bush. During the beginning of Obama's presidency he and Dems had complete control of Congress and the White House yet instead of Obama and Dems backing off from some of the more aggressive NSA spying tactics they embraced them and increased funding on domestic spying.
Bart, you seem to go against your own tag line, "Don't find fault. Find a remedy."
Your first reaction after reading John's post on domestic spying was to find and apply fault to Bush and Repubs.
One remedy for you could be to contact your elected Dems and tell them how you feel about domestic spying and that you wish they would change their stance so they are not so rigidly aligned with Repubs on this issue.
