Hehe I think the title of this thread needs to be changed based to fit the current tone.

Replace ' Did the Bush admin break the law?'

with....

'We hope the Bush admin broke the law.'

We are arguing over technicalities, unknown data, and legal issues NONE of us have the slightest knowledge over.

My stance has always been Bush did what was necessary in light of the 9/11 attacks, the technicalities of the case don't matter to me, frankly I wasn't worried if they were illegal, as I feel it was the right thing to do (though I never thought they were illegal in the first place). Now that more and more information is pointing to the fact that they were not illegal as presented, it seems the switch is to find what ELSE they did, hoping to find something illegal, not because of any fundamental outrage but as a way to 'get Bush', basically they want to go fishing.

Well cast your lures away folks, this is an issue where the American people will again react not in outrage over Bush, but in outrage over those who weaken the security of the nation in their quest for political power. Maybe when this is all said and done, 11 months from now when it seems that SOMEHOW the Republicans gained in the midterms we can start a thread in paranoia about how Karl Rove leaked the wire tap story hoping for senate hearings which made the Democrats look like obstructionists yet again for another election.
