Keep in mind that Bush never authorized wiretaps of American citizens specifically. He authorized wiretaps of phone calls entering the US from from nations with known terrorist. Whoever received those calls within the United States could have been citizen or non-citizen. The Bush Administration was using the wiretaps to locate terrorist cells operating within the US. This was not a unprecedented practice. However the ordered assassination of a US citizen because he is "believed" to be a direct threat IS UNPRECEDENTED!
Compare this to Obama's policy with regard to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the CONFESSED mastermind of 9-11! Though a non-citizen. . .he gets mirandized and a full show trial in Manhattan. Obama is nuts, out of control or both.
Oh, I know I was just being a smart ass. The press had a field day with the wire taps issue (my opinion is it was completely legit) but I am betting you probably won't hear another word about this.
Its truly scary how inept / biased the press is.
