MORE ONGOING BS Bush needs to find a new word, because if he keeps using the word ongoing, he will face more ongoing investigations of himself. The New York Times story on domestic NSA spying has come in out of the cold and it’s getting hot for Bush. Democrats and Republicans both seem more troubled than Bush himself about NSA spying on the domestic front. Bush said in an interview that “we do not discuss ongoing intelligence operations to protect the country. And the reason why is that there’s an enemy that lurks, that would like to know exactly what we’re trying to do to stop them.
“I will make this point,” he continued. “That whatever I do to protect the American people — and I have an obligation to do so — that we will uphold the law, and decisions made are made understanding we have an obligation to protect the civil liberties of the American people.”
WHAT BUSH CONSIDERS upholding the law will now be subjected to more ongoing scrutiny. More on this here.
