Bush says leaking spy program a ‘shameful act’

Monday, December 19, 2005

He has got to be joking - Right? To call truth "shameful" is beyond belief.

“It was a shameful act for someone to disclose this important program in a time of war. The fact that we’re discussing this program is helping the enemy,” he said at the White House event.
The spying program allows the National Security Agency to intercept the communications without court approval. A 1978 law, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, makes it illegal to spy on U.S. citizens in the United States without court approval.
Bush said he approved the action without such orders “because it enables us to move faster and quicker. We’ve got to be fast on our feet.
“It is legal to do so. I swore to uphold the laws. Legal authority is derived from the Constitution,” Bush added.
It is shameful that you disregarded the 1978 law. It is disgusting that you hold yourself above the law. It is a disgrace that you, once again, use "fear" to justify lies and disregard for the Bill of Rights.
