    Calm down, re-read the letters.

    I never stated that the rule of law means nothing, nor did I state that the President can break the law whenever he pleases.

    The Bush administration is aggressively using surveillance of foreign telephone calls. Most of the salonistas assume evil intent. I suspect that the surveillance is a valuable tool to prevent terrorism. I acknowledge that I cannot prove this.

    So I try to take the opposite view, and I asked for someone to provide an opposing explanation. To explain what is motivating the Bush administration.

    Some semblance of logic would be nice.
