    The real question is who is being spyed on

    People get all excited about spying. My question is what are you doing that is soooooo private? There is no shortage of those in power using or abusing their PEOPLE given power. Clinton used the FBI and their files as leverage for not being impeached. Was that in the interest of national security? Wake up America, those that hate us have finally got organized and are coming to get us. Too bad for too many years we have be saps to send aid all over the world ($48 billion to Africa for AIDS), to have sacrificed the members of our armed forces to protect freedom around the world, and let us not forget it is America that presently keeps oil flowing out of the Persian Gulf to European and Asian counties while their citizens curse us. I say lets let THEM take care of the problems and send the United Nations building to Iran. I bet ya President Bush cannot wait to get out of office and back on the farm after eight years of listening to all the whining children crying. God bless President Bush.

    P.S. I have nothing to hide, but if you need to spy, go ahead!
