If they can get the law changed fine, but as long as the law is in place Bush like anyone else, is obliged to follow it. THe fact that they did not try to get the law changed until after court cases is yet one more indication of the poor judgement shown by Bush etal.

There have already been terrorist plots in this country that have been broken up, using the wire-tapping, & unfortunately from U.S. CITIZENS planning an attack.
The most recent were two caught in Florida, talking with Canadian BORN citizens also, who decided they wanted to take out Toronto.
Again, you can go on all you want about illegal wire-tapping. The problem is, you won't get the majority of Americans to go along with more restrictions as far as the legality of it. Not when their families lives are concerned.
