I can’t quite figure out why peoples heads aren’t popping off at this whole Bush being our president thing.
The NSA’s vast data-mining activities began shortly after Bush was sworn in as president and the document contradicts his assertion that the 9/11 attacks prompted him to take the unprecedented step of signing a secret executive order authorizing the NSA to monitor a select number of American citizens thought to have ties to terrorist groups.
The lying sacks of shit. After the whole wiretapping without warrants thing broke, Cheney said that if they could have just done it before 9/11, they’d have stopped it. Oh? You actually were doing it before 9/11 and just didn’t think you wanted to tell us? I call constitutional crisis.
