We should call Bush's "domestic surveillence what it is...
Instead we should start calling it "Domestic spying" and "Government invasion of privacy" Don't let the MSM frame the debate for us by choosing our words for us. We should use our words and not theirs.

1. I think I've heard it spoken of
as domestic spying a lot in the media.

2. I haven't heard any newscaster using the Administration term of
"Terrorist Surveillance". They are calling it what it is and not using the approved label.

3. Yeah, that's a mouthful, too
domestic spying is the common usage, I think.

4. Until proven otherwise...
the Dems should all be referring to this as "illegal spying with no oversight".
If having this program is so fucking important to the war on terror than they should have gotten it approved first, thus not putting it in jeopardy when people eventually found out about it.
