Hey froggies, the waters getting warmer

First Bush appoints the guy who started the warrentless wire taps to be the new head of the CIA, then it comes out that that very same NSA is collecting and storing data on every call made in the US, but this is OK becasue Bush says, "Our efforts are focused on links to al Qaeda and their known affiliates," and, "The privacy of ordinary Americans is fiercely protected in all our activities." Except that Hayden, while very certain he knows the Fourth Amendment, well...doesn't. In this telling exchange, he shows very clearly that he's not aware of the laws he's sworn to uphold. It may also explain why he thinks he's not doing anything wrong, but alas, he is. I'm still trying to figure out how keeping records of millions on Americans phone calls is a "focused" effort on Al Qaeda.

Seriously, its like these guys read Orwell not as warning, but as a field manual.
