[QUOTE]President Bush has signed into law a bill that gives the U.S. government more power to eavesdrop on suspected foreign terrorists.

The legislation lifts a previous requirement that such surveillance could not begin without advance permission from a court. Mr. Bush says in a statement Sunday that this change will give U.S. agents "dynamic and flexible" tools for counterterrorism work.

The new law, called the Protect America Act, allows the U.S. National Security Agency to intercept telephone conversations, e-mail and other communications between foreigners that are routed through American equipment. Should a U.S. resident become a target of such an investigation, court approval still will be required.

Mr. Bush says this will protect Americans' civil liberties while also aiding those trying to gather information about the intentions of the United States' enemies.

The new law updates the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, known as FISA, but it expands the government's wiretapping authority for six months only. Mr. Bush thanked members of Congress for passing the bill before beginning their summer recess, and he also urged them to begin work promptly next month on further, permanent reforms of the intelligence law.

The vote to update FISA had bipartisan support during voting in both the Senate and House of Representatives, despiter sharp criticism from opponents of the measure who contend it will curtail Americans' privacy rights.[/QUOTE]

Great, so Bush can spy on me now. Here Bushie, bushie. Bad bushie! No milkbone.
Please prevent Rudy Guilliani from getting elected. j

Actually, this news is from Aug. 6, 2007. Maybe you should read a little more carefully corellion, and then you realize that this news bit is about Bush spying on the rest of the world as long as their telecommunications are channeled through American-owned equipment, and not on Americans.

Also, it's considered bad form to not post the source of an article.

I consider it bad form to talk to people like they're morons like you're doing right now.
There's a good reason I didn't put the source, and if you can't figure it out, then too bad!

I just stated something that should be done if you're wanting your thread to have any real credibility. If you took it as moron-speak then perhaps you are a moron.

It was Dick Cheney. In an interview, he was quoted as saying, "GOOD, I have foreseen this, everything is going exactly as planned!"
