Obviously the mainstream media isn't what it used to be and it should be exposing alleged terrorist plots against the United States. However, for them to focus on this with a microscope in attempt to vindicate Bush's wire tapping would be just as stupid. This really just blurrs the issue. The issue is legal wire tapping via retroactive warrants (and I use that term 'legal' loosely but that's a whole different debate) vs. illegal wire tapping.
Why can't you or the administration answer the simple question of 'why did they subvert to law to wire tap when they could of just done the same thing legally?'
The answer is simple: they can't, because there is no excuse for it, period.
Even if people think Bush is god, he is setting the precedent for this to be abused in the future.
