and where was the press when Valarie plane was outed by them, did they even apologize? how about

when reported WMDs in spite of UN inspectors saying otherwise, did they apologize?

How about when they falsely accused the wrong person in the Boston marathon bombing, did they apologize?

Since our illustrious media had no issues when the Patriot Act and homeland security was widely violating peoples rights, but suddenly they are outraged when the tables are turned on them, assuming of course the information they are reporting is correct

There were reviews of the incoming and outgoing phone call logs. It is not illegal. It was probably more expansive than necessary. The reason why the AP knows that this happened is because they were informed by the Justice Department that it was done.

It's too bad Bush did what he did, but the sentence I thought was appropriate.
