An Ear to the Ground
So, let me get this straight: not only was Bush's spying program horribly illegal... not only did it target civilian groups who have no reasonable connection to terrorists... but it never managed to target even a single terrorist.
This makes the whole thing even more inexcusable. If you're going to undertake a program of risky, highly illegal wiretapping that nets no successes within, oh, let's say a year, you should probably scrap it. Instead, Bush kept it up for a period of time that some are saying may have started before 9/11. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
In other news, Bush is getting his ass sued by two different groups over the spying program. Let's hope this kicks up another shitstorm.
