(62,325 posts)I certainly never said otherwise. But every country does NOT have the right to spy on an entire population without any kind of probable cause. Your repeated attempts at 'gotcha moments' have always failed so miserably I don''t understand why you keep trying.
Did Venuzeula wire tap the phones of all of its citizens secretly and when exposed claim it was for 'national security' reasons? Not that I am aware of. But if someone tries to assassinate an elected president, here or anywhere else, they sure do have a right, a duty to find those people. And that is done by the usual and accepted methods of catching any criminal.
The topic here is spying on the American people as Bush did, using the telecoms to do so. Just so you don't veer off once again into the wilderness. And thanks for posting that, if I say so myself, it was not a bad comment, which I stand by entirely.
