If Clinton was doing the exact same thing against a foreign foe who had killed 3000 American Civilians, we would be cheering him.

Yeah right. Cheering him.

Son, it's you who doesn't have his facts completely right. No one, not even liberals, are disturbed by the U.S. spying on foreign foes.

Where any anti-government Conservative should be a little alarmed is with the fact that warrantless spying is being done on American citizens, despite the fact that warrants can easily be obtained from the secret court 72 hours after the executive order is issued.

I don't care who the President is, unchecked executive authority to me is unAmerican. I give President Bush the benefit of the doubt, but explanations need to be made. I love him, but he's not a King.

And let me tell you, there is not one Conservative who would be (or should be) comfortable with the likes of Bill Clinton ordering warrantless searches on any citizen...you know it, and I know it.

Toon performed warrantless search of Aldrich Ames personal property, and I for one am damn glad and cheered that action. Only problem was that Ames didn't fry.
