I find it interesting that Byrd will go on and on about all of these wiretaps that Bush supposedly has done on just regular folks..talking to their friends and family....
And insinutating that Bush would go after anyone who makes a phone call and says anything negative about the war in Iraq...he says how AWFUL that scenario would be that Americans would have to worry about everything they said during a phone call, e-mail...etc...
BUT, these same people get INCENSED when President Bush and Alberto Gonzalez refuse to turn over President Bush's personal memos, e-mails, and phone records...
Just think about how awful it would be if no one could speak "truth to power" without wondering if their memo, e-mail or phone call would be made public and disected by the idiot media..and Congress.
He also said something about bringing his proposed legislation (which would have the administration submit the surveillance program to the FISA Court for a ruling) to the floor tomorrow. That "to the floor" only means introducing it, not that it would be up for debate or anything.
He's trying to whip up the paranoia of the dem base. Not a very responsible thing to do. (I know, I know.)
