Just another left/Dem/Socialist smoke screen for something much, much, larger that they don’t want found out...yet.
Smokescreen, for sure - we need to put this in perspective. Listen to the reports - program was started in the wake of 9/11 and “not yet, fully operational”. Other references indicate that “efforts mostly died out, within 6 months”.
This is simply the Democrats continuing to position the Bush Administration in the cross-hairs for prosecution. There is nothing here, except a desire to demonize the previous administration and deflect public focus away from their own misdeeds.
