Lots of people did. Unfortunately what they conveniently ignored as that the proviso in the executive order was that the AG could NOT commit such activity on a US citizen and had no right to examine a citizen's property, phone records, physical being, or conversations except with a warrant. The order was entirely about FOREIGN investigations, and a good order considering the times we've been through.
So far, the tapping under Bush has ENTIRELY been of US citizens. ENTIRELY. How many terrorists so far have been US citizens? How many received aid from US citizens?
