I love the last paragraph.

If Mr. Bush wants Americans to give him and his successors the power to spy on them at will, Americans should be allowed to know why it’s supposedly so necessary and how much their freedoms are being abridged. If Congress once again allows itself to be cowed by Mr. Bush’s fear-mongering, it must accept responsibility for undermining the democratic values that separate this nation from the terrorists that Mr. Bush claims to be fighting.

It's so necessary because of first Trade Center attack, the Africa embassies, the Kobar Towers, the Cole, 9/11 just to name a few and he is killing as many as he can as fast as he can within reason.

Talk about fear-mongering! The NYT knows exactly what is involved in this authority, but refuses to report it accurately.

gives lawmakers and the public the information they need to understand this vital issue.

With all the information that is out there now...if they aren't getting it...they never will.

Here’s the rule: if you don’t already know, you don’t have the need to know.
