Trusting George

Hullabaloo:

"...This is not an honest administration and the idea of trusting that they are limiting their illegal national security activity only to 'terrorists' is ludicrous, whether it's the NSA spying, Guantanamo, war profiteering or anything else. They lied about the evidence for the Iraq war, for crying out loud (although as this excellent article examines, the press is still unwilling to properly connect the dots.)

President Bush may be the most dishonest president in history, as I believe --- or he may be no more dishonest than most presidents, as others believe. But I think we can all agree that the country should not have to depend upon the president's reputation for personal honesty as to whether they are allowed to break the law.

The NSA wiretapping scandal turns on exactly this issue..."
