Bush Lies: NSA Spying Did Snare US Phone Calls

On Tues, Bush said of his domestic spying program: "So it's a program that's limited, and you brought up something that I want to stress, and that is, is that these calls are not intercepted within the country. They are from outside the country to in the country, or vice versa." Really? Then what about this: "A surveillance program approved by Bush to conduct eavesdropping w/o warrants has captured what are purely domestic communications in some cases, despite a requirement by the WH that one end of the intercepted conversations take place on foreign soil, officials say." Hmm, I know that Bush is a moron, so maybe geography is tricky for him and he just doesn't know that these calls were purely inside the US, but how do you explain Att Gen Gonzales & Gen Michael Hayden saying this during their press briefing yesterday morning, Gonzales said: "People are running around saying that the US is somehow spying on American citizens calling their neighbors," he said. "Very, very important to understand that one party to the communication has to be outside the US." I guess they must be as stupid as Bush, huh? Or maybe they are just as bad as Bush when it comes to ever telling the truth.
