Bush Spying

www.newsmax.com/poll/spy/?promo_code=1914-1Here is a poll from newsmax about Bush's spying program.

It's about if it's legal or not. I think it is, because a) every president since Carter has used this power of the presidency, and b) we are at war! We NEED to gather intel on the enemy, especially if the enemy is in our own backyard!

I tend to agree. Not only is the enemy among us, everywhere - they've had lots of time to spread out, make contacts and organize. These people aren't readily identifiable. I think all measures to catch them should be implemented.

Sorry, but Bush failed to gather the information through the FISA...he just does what he wanted to do...and that's not constitutional. We are no more at war with terrorists than we were under Clinton nor Carte.

You know this how?

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 prescribes procedures for requesting judicial authorization for electronic surveillance and physical search of persons engaged in espionage or international terrorism against the United States on behalf of a foreign power.
