Why don't you obey the law regarding spying?


Bush: I have the authority, Gonzales says its legal, Obligation to protect Americans.

OPEN DEBATE (Democracy) would embolden the enemy!!!

We will monitor anybody, if we have to, in or out of the US.


This is a different era, a different war. Requires quick action.

Part of our effort to protect American people.



Bush says discussing secret wiretaps helping the enemy
RAW STORY

At his press conference today, President Bush lambasted those who criticized his secretive spying program, and called for the swift reauthorization of the Patriot Act.

"The fact that we're discussing this program is helping the enemy," Bush said.

"It is a shameful act," he said when asked about the leakers who revealed the program.


Bush said he hasn't ordered an investigation, but expects the Justice Department will seek out the leaker.

"We’re at war, and we must protect America’s secrets, and I presume the Justice Department will proceed forward with an investigation," he said.

Speaking of the Patriot Act, the President hammered those who sought to block reauthorization and specifically called out Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) -- who he said bragged about "killing" the Act.

"We cannot afford to be without this law for a single moment".

1. No open debate. No following laws. Rule by the rulers
If al Qaeda wanted to destroy our democracy, they must be slapping each other on the back right now and smiling.
