A valid point....
'Pre 9/11
The dirty little secret that no one mentions is the fact that the Bush administration requested these extraordinary surveillance powers prior to 9/11.'
...and largely overlooked, even here. How could this program be justified as having been incepted under the justification of 'fightin' the turrists' when in fact, Bushco was and is known to have been grossly negligent in failing to heed or act on numerous warnings from all quarters, including their very own national terrorism chief, Richard Clarke, about imminent terrorist attacks resulting in 9/11, though they had their little telco arrangement underway BEFORE 9/11?
Very telling, that. This domestic spying program has always been about the 'Permanent Republican Majority' program of Karl Rove and not at all about security.
Nixon: 18 minutes of missing tape.
Bush: 10 million missing emails, wars of aggression under false pretenses, failure to protect the country from actual threats resulting in a national disaster, universal spying on Americans everywhere, war crimes, torture, loss of a major American city through negligence...a mere sampling of their transgressions.
Sadly, the world would have been better of with Nixon in office....
