Bush uses lies, fear-mongering to defend war in Iraq, police state measures at home In his nationally televised address from the White House Oval Office Sunday night, George W.

Bush Domestic Spying is Old News The big puzzle is why anyone is shocked that President Bush eavesdropped on Americans. The National Security Agency for decades has routinely monitored the phone calls and telegrams of thousands of Americans. The rationale has always been the same, and Bush said it again in defending his spying, that it was done to protect Americans from foreign threat or attack....
