I don't know why..but with our very stupid electorate and very biased media..they will somehow blame this on President Bush..even though he was only Governor of Texas at the time..nothing surprises me today..

Because Diana may have been talking to him on her phone or talking about him on her phone. Plus the article doesn't say the U.S. wasn't bugging Dodi's phone, too. At least I did not catch that. Correct me if it does.

"Then why wouldn't we have bugged Dodi's phone, and not Diana's?"
Let's pretend for the moment that Dodi Fayed's name had come up in the investigation of funding of, oh say Ramzi Yousef, the WTC bombing mastermind, or something like that. (Warning: this is entirely conjectural for illustrative purposes only. I am making no accusations.)
Certainly, in such a case those around him would be subject to surveillance also: If you're a bad guy and want to make a phone call to another bad guy, it would simply be good craft to borrow an innocent's phone. And it would simply be good practice to monitor the phones and activities of potential dupes in frequent contact with your suspect.
Again, I'm not saying Fayed was any sort of bad guy. I'm saying what-if, and explaining how bugging Di's phone makes eminent sense if Fayed was any sort of suspect. Which, as an staggeringly wealthy muslim, he may well have been, if he'd given money to the wrong people, even naively.

"However I wouldn't put it past him either." Hell, I wouldn't have put it past Diana either....

Maybe not. Just the thought of bill wanting to get in her panties is not pleasant thought. I would hope she would have had better taste but then again she married Prince Charles and I think he is a dead ringer for Cindy Sheehan so who knows. I don't understand these kind of people.

I don't see why we would have bugged Diana either.
Your scenario makes the most sense by far.

Why???
Diana was working for MI5, attempting to infiltrate the Fayed network. Same as Paul McCartney - that's why he is now Sir Paul McCartney.

My question is...did a US judge order the wire-tap, or was this accomplished by presidenial directive (Clinton)?
There may be something here that we are all missing.
To: my_pointy_head_is_sharp
Why did Clinton order the bugging of Diana's phone, hmmm? Why doesn't the NY run this story every day for six months like it did with Abu Ghraib? What did Hillary know, and when did she know it?
Clinton pried, Diana died. Love it.
Maybe he was just trying to see if he could learn something that would help him get Diana into the sack.

No, it was more about the other guy she was sleeping with, a billionaire in the US.
