"Opponents of the administration''s program, which engaged wiretaps against any and all Americans without obtaining court-ordered warrants, say the telecoms'' participation was illegal."
It is disturbing that your article doesn''t state the unequivocal truth: that the wiretapping without warrents, and the cooperation by telecom companies were BOTH illegal.
This is not an "on the one hand, on the other hand" issue. CBS has no need to refer to "opponents" and SHOULD NOT, because this not a matter of opinion, but one of referring to statues including FISA and the Telecommunications Act of 1934.
Why would the Bush regime so desperately insist on telecom amnesty if the telecoms had not committed illegal acts?

I think we should listen to what Ron Paul is saying.

"Dr. Paul tirelessly works for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies."

The Government is taking over our lives. Does not sit right with me.

While this monster calls for us to give up our rights to privacy, the border remains wide open!

I hope everyone will go to this site...scroll down to the direct link to the short film of the US soldier bragging and joking about the murder and torture of Iraqis and the gang rape of a 15 year old Iraqi girl who later hanged herself. The link is about 7 links below the ''''Ron Paul for President banner" the page.

These people are still on the loose. Call your Congress and lets see them put behind bars for a long long time.

That should be the new drinking game. People at bars around the country, repeating a lie given by the Bush administration -- and then everyone yells BuSHit!! and does a shooter. Or maybe everyone should yell BullSh*t.

After a little while, everyone will be intoxicated by the lies (or maybe the alcohol).

i don''t blame just the corrupt dictator we have as much as i blame congress. congress makes the laws of this nation not the president. people act like its the president thats making these laws, well its not its your own congress that has sold you out. although the congress would love for you to belive that this is all the president doing so they can continue to chip away at our freedom and constitution while diverting our attention away from the real people passing this unconstitutional legislation. every person in congress with the exception of ron paul and MAYBE a couple of other congressmen should be recalled from their position of power and replaced with people who truly represent our views.

+ report abuse

Exactly HOW do you think Impeachment is possible? We can''t even get people to testify before congress!! You have to give a party the POWER to compell people to testify and this certainly isn''t the days of Nixon when Democrats had a Clear Majority. When you take into account that Liberman would vote with the Republican''s Democrats do NOT even have a simple majority in the senate, which would have to try the case. Time to have a bit of a reality check here.

We haven''t needed it for more than 200 years and we don''t need it now. Bush has not prevented terrorists attacks with his programs, attacks on US mainland don''t occur less than 8 years apart, we are not even there yet.
