Another poll related article...it really isn't a slow news day if you open your eyes.

21% said, " it was very likely or somewhat likely their conversations had been wiretapped." Well there you have it. The 21% isn't even sure whether or not it is Very or Somewhat likely

"Shortly after 9/11, President Bush authorized the National Security Agency to conduct electronic surveillance of communications -- phone calls, e-mails and text messages -- between people inside the United States, including Americans, or what could be Americans if you consider the scope of cellphone technology or could be an American as a cellphone number does not designate citizenship and terrorist suspects overseas, bypassing a secret court set up to provide warrants for such surveillance," when the "secret courts" (could they mean FISA? ooooooh, sshhhh), scope would not fulfill the pressing need of a new reality.

As to whether the president broke the law and we Americans are not sure, the msm could go along way toward helping us decipher it, rather than toeing a self-imposed line.
